EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this engraving of London Corners in 1881, a visual feast of historical charm and architectural beauty. This intricately detailed print, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, invites us to explore the vibrant and diverse scenes that once defined London's urban landscape. Starting at the top left, we find ourselves at St. Dunstan's in Thames Street, where the imposing presence of the church stands proudly against the backdrop of bustling Thames Street. Moving clockwise, we encounter St. Bartholomew's in Smithfield, its red-brick façade a stark contrast to the surrounding market hustle and bustle. Next, we come across The Tree at the corner of Wood Street, Cheapside, a quaint and picturesque scene of a tree growing in the midst of the busy street. Continuing our journey, we discover an Islington corner in Canonbury, where the elegant architecture of the houses and the tranquil setting evoke a sense of calm amidst the urban chaos. The engraving then takes us to a corner in Lincoln's Inn Fields, where the grandeur of the buildings and the open green spaces offer a respite from the crowded streets. We then visit St. Sepulchre's in Newgate and Snow Hill, where the intricate details of the church and the hustle and bustle of the surrounding area come together in perfect harmony. Seven Dials follows, a notorious intersection known for its confusion and chaos, while London Bridge, with its iconic towers and bustling activity, represents the heart of the city. Finally, we arrive at Grays Inn Lane, the central image of this print. This enchanting engraving provides a unique glimpse into London's rich history and offers a fascinating insight into the city's past, transporting us back to a time when horse-drawn carriages and Victorian architecture ruled the streets.
