EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Great Fire at Southwark, showing London-Bridge in the Foreground" takes us back to a pivotal moment in history. Created by an anonymous English artist during the 19th century, this print captures the sheer drama and devastation of one of London's most infamous fires. Intriguingly, this artwork was originally published as an illustration for the Illustrated Times on June 29th, 1861. It offers a vivid depiction of the chaotic scene that unfolded during the Great Fire at Southwark. The foreground showcases London Bridge itself, standing tall amidst billowing smoke and raging flames. As we delve into this image further, we are struck by its ability to transport us back in time. The architecture surrounding London Bridge is meticulously detailed; every line etched with precision. We can almost hear the crackling fire and feel its heat through our fingertips. The River Thames flows calmly beneath the bridge but serves as a stark contrast to the chaos above it. Crowds gather along its banks, their faces filled with fear and awe as they witness this catastrophic event unfold before their eyes. "The Great Fire at Southwark" is not just a historical record; it is also a testament to human resilience in times of adversity. This engraving reminds us of both our vulnerability and our strength as we face unforeseen challenges throughout history. Through Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we are fortunate enough to have access to such remarkable pieces of art that allow
