EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Two views of London: 1616 and 1890" takes us on a journey through time, showcasing the ever-evolving cityscape of London. The engraving, created by the English School in the 19th century, offers a fascinating comparison between two distinct eras. In the top view, originally published by the Topographical Society in 1883 and crafted by C J Visscher, we are transported to bustling streets filled with iconic landmarks. From Southwark Bridge to Waterloo Bridge, Bow Church to Blackfriars Bridge, each architectural marvel tells its own story. Towering structures like Somerset House and St Paul's Cathedral dominate the skyline while London Bridge Station hums with activity below. The lower view, masterfully illustrated by H W Brewer, brings us back even further to 1616. Here we witness a different era characterized by quaint buildings and historic sites such as Guy's Hospital and St Olave's Church. Billingsgate Market bustles with merchants while St Katharine's Docks exude maritime charm. Both images capture not only the physical transformation of London but also its rich history and cultural heritage. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder's Peter Jackson Collection, we can't help but marvel at how much has changed over centuries while appreciating how certain elements have stood the test of time.
