EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Old Windmills at Lambeth, about 1750" takes us on a journey back in time to the bustling city of London during the 18th century. The English School artist skillfully captures the essence of this historical moment, offering a glimpse into the past. The image showcases two majestic windmills standing tall against a cloudy sky. These iconic structures were once an integral part of Lambeth's landscape, symbolizing both progress and tradition. With their sails gracefully turning in the wind, they provided power for grinding grain and played a vital role in sustaining the local community. Displayed as an illustration for Walter Thornbury's book "Old and New London" published around 1890, this print holds immense historical significance. It serves as a visual testament to London's rich heritage and its ever-evolving urban landscape. Thanks to digital restoration techniques employed by Bridgeman Images, this artwork has been meticulously cleaned to restore its original splendor. Now preserved within private collections worldwide, it continues to captivate viewers with its timeless charm. As we gaze upon these old windmills from centuries ago, we are reminded of how much our world has changed since then. Yet through art like this engraving, we can still connect with our past and appreciate the beauty that lies within history's embrace.
