EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the devastating event known as the Great Fire of London in 1666. The image showcases a contemporary engraving that vividly portrays the destruction caused by this catastrophic fire. With its focus on a bridge, cityscape, and maritime elements, it offers a glimpse into the chaos and devastation that unfolded during those fateful days. The Great Fire of London left an indelible mark on history, reducing 13,200 houses and 89 churches to ashes. However, amidst this widespread destruction, it is remarkable to note that only six lives were lost. This fact serves as a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of both the people affected by this tragedy and their efforts to contain its impact. Intriguingly captured from an English boat sailing along the Thames River, this engraving transports us back in time to witness firsthand how flames engulfed buildings along its banks. The scene evokes feelings of awe at witnessing such immense power unleashed upon an unsuspecting city. As part of Granger Art on Demand's collection, this print allows us to reflect upon historical events that have shaped our world today. It serves as a reminder not only of past tragedies but also of humanity's ability to rebuild and overcome adversity.
