EDITORS COMMENTS
London Bridge, c1872: A Glimpse into the Historic Cityscape". This print takes us back to the bustling streets of London in 1872. The creator remains unknown, but their lens beautifully captures the iconic London Bridge, standing proudly over the majestic River Thames. The bridge itself is a testament to architectural brilliance, having been opened in 1831 as a replacement for its predecessor. In this snapshot of history, we are treated to a view that encompasses not only the grandeur of London Bridge but also two significant landmarks on either side. On one side stands the Church of St Magnus the Martyr with its towering spire reaching towards the heavens. This Christian place of worship adds an air of spirituality amidst the busy cityscape. On the other side lies The Monument, designed by Sir Christopher Wren to commemorate both his own achievements and those lost during the Great Fire of London in 1666. Its presence serves as a reminder of resilience and rebirth within this ever-evolving metropolis. The river below teems with boats, showcasing water transport as a vital aspect of Victorian life. As we gaze upon this monochrome scene from yesteryear, it's impossible not to be transported back in time – witnessing daily life unfold against a backdrop steeped in history and tradition. This remarkable print from 'Old and New London' by Walter Thornbury offers us an invaluable glimpse into our past; reminding us how far we've come while honoring those who shaped our beloved city.
