EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a glimpse into the rich history of Old London Bridge during the 17th century. The image highlights a section of the bridge, originally constructed between 1176 and 1209, with its impressive architecture standing tall against the backdrop of the River Thames. On the left side, we can observe Peter Morice's waterworks built in 1582 to supply water to the city. The intricate details captured in this chromolithograph transport us back in time, allowing us to marvel at Tudor and Elizabethan-era engineering. The pumps powered by current wheels are prominently featured, showcasing their vital role in raising water for London's inhabitants. It is fascinating to note that these original pumps were later replaced by Scorrold in 1702 before being ultimately demolished in 1822. This print not only serves as a visual testament to England's civil engineering prowess but also provides insight into daily life during this period. As we explore every inch of this image, we are reminded of how much has changed over centuries while appreciating how certain landmarks have stood the test of time. With its vibrant colors and attention to detail, this photograph print captures an important slice of British history. Its presence evokes curiosity about our past and invites us to reflect on how far we have come as a society since those medieval times.
