EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling city of London around the year 1560. The engraving, attributed to the English School of the 18th century, offers a unique glimpse into the past and is now part of a private collection. Believed to be a reduced version of a larger print owned by Sir Hans Sloane, this remarkable piece may have originated from Ralph Agas' woodcut and was copied for the Society of Antiquaries in 1737. It serves as an exquisite frontispiece for Volume I of William Maitland's History of London. The intricately detailed image showcases various elements that defined Tudor-era London. From its majestic river Thames flowing through the heart of the city to its towering walls and gates protecting its inhabitants, every aspect tells a story. As we explore further, we can spot ships sailing along the river while streets bustle with activity. The countryside surrounding this metropolis provides a stark contrast against its urban landscape. Noteworthy landmarks such as churches and bridges dotting across this historic panorama remind us of London's rich architectural heritage. This print transports us back in time, allowing us to marvel at how much has changed over centuries while appreciating how some aspects continue to shape modern-day London.
