From the Book Gallery of Historical Portraits, published around 1880, this illustration beautifully captures the chaos and devastation that engulfed London during those fateful days. In stark black and white tones, we witness the sheer magnitude of destruction caused by this great fire. The flames dance fiercely against a backdrop of iconic landmarks, reducing them to mere silhouettes amidst billowing smoke. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable as every intricate line tells a story - from crumbling buildings to desperate citizens fleeing with their belongings. This image serves as a powerful reminder of both tragedy and resilience.
