EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the resilience and rebirth of Leadenhall Street after the devastating fire of 1765. The image showcases a row of houses on the north side, standing proudly in place of their predecessors that fell victim to the destructive flames. The architectural details are exquisite, with each house displaying unique features that reflect the craftsmanship and style prevalent during this era. From grand entrances to ornate windows, these buildings exude elegance and charm. One particular highlight is the vestiges of a crypt, now transformed into a bustling kitchen within Messrs John Robinson & Son's residence. This juxtaposition between past and present adds an intriguing layer to this historical scene. As we delve deeper into the image, we discover various establishments that were integral to daily life in 19th century London. A bull inn stands prominently alongside other businesses such as a stationer's shop, manufactory, trunk maker's warehouse, hairdresser's salon, silversmiths' academy, and even a naval building. It is fascinating to imagine how these structures played vital roles in serving both civilians and armed forces alike. The presence of troops hints at Leadenhall Street's strategic importance during this time. Through this engraving by English School artists from Bridgeman Images' Private Collection, we are transported back in time to witness not only the physical reconstruction but also feel the vibrant energy pulsating through these revived streetscapes.
