1666 Accidents Engulfed Fires Flames
EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting and powerful image captures the devastating scene of the Great Fire of London in 1666, with Old St Paul's Cathedral engulfed by raging flames. The fire, which started in a bakery on Pudding Lane, quickly spread throughout the city, destroying thousands of homes and buildings including this iconic cathedral.
The silhouette of the cathedral against the backdrop of billowing smoke and intense flames is a stark reminder of the destruction caused by one of history's most infamous fires. The artist has masterfully captured the chaos and devastation of that fateful September day, when London was consumed by an inferno that raged for days.
As we gaze upon this print from Mary Evans Picture Library, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the sheer scale and horror of this catastrophic event. It serves as a poignant reminder of how quickly disaster can strike and how resilient communities can be in the face of such tragedy.
This print is not just a historical document but a testament to human perseverance and strength in times of adversity. It stands as a tribute to all those who lost their homes, livelihoods, and loved ones in the Great Fire of London, reminding us to never forget this pivotal moment in our shared history.
