EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases a significant event in London's history - the ceremony of laying the first stone of Blackfriars Bridge. The Lord Mayor and Aldermen of the City of London, depicted here with great attention to detail by Samuel Wale and Charles Grignion, gathered on that momentous day in 1760. The image transports us back to a time when construction was just beginning on this iconic bridge, which would later become an integral part of the city's landscape. The engraving beautifully captures the grandeur and excitement surrounding this important milestone. Built using durable Portland stone, Blackfriars Bridge stands as a testament to architectural ingenuity and engineering prowess. As we gaze upon this print, we can almost feel the anticipation and celebration that filled the air during its construction.
