EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Remains of the Wall of Old London" takes us on a journey back in time to the bustling streets of 19th-century England. The image showcases the remnants of the ancient wall that once encircled the vibrant city of London. As we gaze upon this historical print, our eyes are drawn to Falcon Square, Castle Street, and Jewry Street - all witnesses to centuries of human activity. These cobblestone roads bear witness to countless stories and events that have shaped the rich tapestry of London's past. The discovery of these remains is a testament to the enduring power and resilience of archaeology. It allows us to peel back layers upon layers of history and gain insight into how our ancestors lived within these walls. Intriguingly, this engraving was originally published in The Illustrated London News on August 19th, 1865. Its inclusion in such a prominent publication speaks volumes about its significance as an artifact from a bygone era. Through Bridgeman Images' lens, we can almost feel ourselves standing at Aldgate or gazing up at Tower Bridge - landmarks that have stood tall for centuries despite changing times. This print serves as a reminder that even amidst modernity's constant march forward, it is crucial never to forget our roots. By preserving relics like these remains, we honor those who came before us while gaining invaluable insights into our shared heritage.
