EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "London actually Surveyed, 1677 (1886)", takes us back in time to the bustling streets of the City of London. Created by renowned artist William Griggs, this map provides a fascinating glimpse into the city's landscape just eleven years after the devastating Great Fire. The intricate details captured in this print showcase Griggs' mastery of cartography. Every street, lane, and avenue is meticulously depicted, allowing viewers to navigate through the historic heart of England's capital. The monochrome aesthetic adds a sense of nostalgia and authenticity to this seventeenth-century snapshot. Commissioned for Guildhall of the City of London: Its History and Associations in 1886, this print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a valuable historical document. It stands as a testament to London's resilience following one of its most catastrophic events. Collaborating with esteemed mapmakers John Ogilby and William Morgan, Griggs brings together their expertise to create an accurate representation of London's urban fabric during that era. Their combined efforts result in a visually stunning piece that transports us back to a time when horse-drawn carriages traversed these very streets. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from The Print Collector collection, we are reminded not only of London's rich history but also its ability to rebuild and reinvent itself over centuries.
