EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautifully detailed coloured engraving of the Map of Mottingham, Bromley and Chislehurst from 1746 offers a fascinating glimpse into the past. Created by John Rocque as part of his larger work 'An exact survey of the cities of London and Westminster', this map showcases Rocque's skill as both an estate surveyor and garden designer turned cartographer.
The intricate details on this map provide a window into what life was like in 18th century England. From the layout of streets to the placement of landmarks, every aspect is meticulously captured with precision. The vibrant colours used in this engraving bring to life the bustling towns of Mottingham, Bromley, and Chislehurst as they were over two centuries ago.
As you study this piece, you can't help but marvel at how much has changed since Rocque first put pen to paper. Yet, despite the passage of time, there is a sense of nostalgia that comes with viewing such historical artifacts. It serves as a reminder that while landscapes may evolve, their stories remain etched in history forever.
This print from the National Maritime Museum in London is not just a map; it's a piece of art that encapsulates an era long gone but never forgotten.
