EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "London in 1888: New Oxford Street and Holborn, to Smithfield and Cheapside" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the bustling streets of Victorian London. The detailed illustration showcases the city's charm and architectural grandeur during the late 19th century. The image takes us on a journey through time as we explore New Oxford Street, Holborn, Smithfield, and Cheapside from a bird's-eye view perspective. Every intricate detail is brought to life by the skilled hand of an anonymous English School artist. As we examine this historical map-like artwork, it becomes evident that it was created for Herbert Fry's book "London in 1888". This publication aimed to provide readers with a visual representation of London's principal streets through 18 bird's-eye views. The scene depicted captures the essence of London at that time – its vibrant energy, diverse architecture, and lively street activity. Charterhouse Street and Great Russell Street are among those featured prominently in this enchanting panorama. Through this engraving by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder, we are transported back to an era when horse-drawn carriages traversed cobblestone streets while pedestrians bustled about their daily lives. It serves as a testament to both the rich history of England's capital city and the enduring fascination with capturing moments frozen in time through art.
