EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Fleet Street, London in 1746. The talented artist, John Cleghorn, skillfully captures the essence of this vibrant cityscape. In the foreground, figures can be seen going about their daily routines while horses and carriages traverse the cobbled road. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the Devil Tavern and Temple Bar. The intricately detailed engraving showcases these iconic landmarks with remarkable precision. The Devil Tavern's inn sign proudly hangs above its entrance, inviting weary travelers to seek respite within its walls. Its lively atmosphere suggests a popular spot for locals and visitors alike to gather and enjoy a drink or two. As we gaze further down Fleet Street, an array of shops line both sides of the avenue. Their shop fronts display various wares enticingly, tempting passersby to step inside for some retail therapy. This thriving commercial hub truly epitomizes 18th-century London's bustling energy. This monochrome masterpiece now resides within Guildhall Library and Art Gallery as part of their esteemed collection. It serves as a window into London's past—a reminder of how transportation was once dominated by horse-drawn carriages traversing these historic streets. While this print offers us a glimpse into history, it should not be used for any commercial purposes but rather appreciated as an invaluable piece that allows us to travel back in time through artistry and imagination
