EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of London around St. Paul's Cathedral in 1563. The image, originally drawn with pen and pencil by Rev. Richard Lovett and published in 1890, offers a remarkable glimpse into medieval London. The intricate details of this street map reveal the city's rich history and architectural marvels that once adorned its skyline. Old St. Paul's Cathedral stands tall, dominating the scene with its grandeur and majesty, while surrounding buildings showcase the unique charm of Tudor-era architecture. From this birds-eye view or aerial perspective, we can imagine ourselves soaring above the vibrant River Thames as it winds through the heart of London. The river serves as a lifeline for trade and transportation, connecting various parts of the city. As we observe this snapshot from centuries ago, it becomes evident that even then, London was a thriving metropolis filled with activity and diversity. People bustle along cobbled streets going about their daily lives amidst market stalls selling goods from near and far. This print not only captures a specific moment in time but also allows us to appreciate how much has changed over centuries while recognizing certain landmarks that have stood the test of time. It serves as a fascinating window into our past—a reminder of both our shared heritage and how far we've come since those days long gone by.
