EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the awe-inspiring sight of The Monument, a towering tribute to the resilience and determination of the City of London in the aftermath of the Great Fire of 1666. Designed by the renowned architect Sir Christopher Wren and completed in 1677, the monument stands proudly on Fish Street Hill, marking the exact spot where the fire is believed to have started. The 202-foot high column, adorned with intricate carvings and ornate details, serves as a poignant reminder of the devastating fire that consumed much of the city over three days in September 1666. The image transports us back to the 17th century, offering a glimpse into the rich history and architectural grandeur of England's capital city. The Monument not only commemorates the past but also stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of London and its people.
