EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an inscription from Rocque's map of London, providing a fascinating glimpse into the city's past. Created in 1746 by John Rocque, this engraving reveals the names of London's Aldermen and their respective areas of influence. The meticulous attention to detail is evident as each name is carefully inscribed alongside their designated region within the city. The image not only features this remarkable inscription but also offers a glimpse into two specific areas on the map – Rotherhithe and Bermondsey. These sections provide valuable insight into what these neighborhoods looked like during that era. As we explore further, we are transported back in time to witness the bustling streets and vibrant communities that once thrived in South London. From "The Road to Deptford" to "Old Paradise Street" and "New Paradise Street" every street name carries with it a sense of history and significance. Additionally, this engraving sheds light on other notable locations such as Camberwell Fields, situated on the outskirts of the city. This inclusion expands our understanding of how London was structured during this period. Overall, this print serves as both a historical artifact and a visual representation of London's rich heritage. It allows us to appreciate how much has changed over time while also recognizing the enduring spirit that continues to shape one of the world's most iconic cities.
