EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Vanishing London: Clare Market and its surrounding streets shortly before demolition, 1891" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The engraving, created by the English School in the 19th century, showcases the bustling Clare Market and its neighboring streets just before they were demolished. The image offers a glimpse into late 19th-century London, with its historical Victorian houses and buildings lining the streets of Westminster. However, this vibrant scene would soon be lost forever as urban renewal and redevelopment swept through the area. Slums that once stood here vanished without a trace. Notable landmarks such as White Horse Yard, Drury Lane, Lewknor Lane, Harford Place, Wych Street, and Russell Court are all captured within this engraving's frame. Each street holds stories of their own - tales of British culture intertwined with European influences. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time from over a century ago, it serves as a reminder of how cities evolve and change throughout history. The disappearance of these streets is both melancholic yet necessary for progress. Through this image's intricate details and rich historical context provided by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we can appreciate the beauty that once existed while acknowledging the inevitability of transformation in our ever-changing world.
