EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Billingsgate, a historic ward in London that holds significant importance. Illustrated by John Woods and engraved by John Woods in 1838, this image showcases the bustling riverfront of Billingsgate on the north bank of the Thames. In its prime during the 16th century, Billingsgate was renowned as London's most vital landing place. The illustration beautifully depicts boats and ships gracefully sailing along the river, with their sails billowing against a picturesque backdrop. The marine hotel stands proudly amidst this lively scene, serving as a testament to the area's vibrant maritime activity. Notably, Billingsgate was home to an iconic fish market until it relocated to Canary Wharf in 1982. This historical shift marked an end to centuries-old traditions associated with seafood trade at this location. The engraving offers us a glimpse into Victorian-era transportation and cargo handling practices prevalent at Billingsgate. It serves as a reminder of how rivers like Thames played a crucial role in facilitating trade and connecting communities during that time. Overall, this remarkable artwork transports us back in time and allows us to appreciate both the architectural beauty of Billingsgate and its significance within London's rich history.
