EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling city of London in the 19th century. The image showcases the construction of docks on the south bank of the Thames, directly opposite the administrative city of Westminster on the north shore. The unknown artist beautifully captures this pivotal moment in urban planning history. The scene is filled with activity as workers laboriously build these vital docking facilities. Their dedication and hard work are evident, as they lay down foundations that would shape London's future as a major port city. The view from across the river offers a unique perspective, allowing us to appreciate both sides of this vibrant metropolis. On one side lies Westminster, with its iconic landmarks such as Big Ben and Parliament; on the other side, we witness progress being made through this ambitious construction project. The engraving was originally featured in "L'univers illustre" on October 20th, 1866, providing readers with an insight into London's growth during that era. Today, it serves as a valuable historical artifact preserved within a private collection. Stefano Bianchetti skillfully brings this moment to life through his meticulous attention to detail. This print not only celebrates British engineering prowess but also reminds us of how cities evolve over time – constantly adapting and expanding to meet new demands. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry, we can't help but marvel at London's greatness while appreciating its rich architectural heritage.
