The Great Fire in Bermondsey - A Glimpse into London's Fiery Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The Great Fire in Bermondsey" takes us back to a fateful day in history. Captured by the talented artist Henry Charles Seppings Wright, this engraving was featured in The Illustrated London News on May 25th, 1895. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to the chaotic scene of devastation that unfolded during the great fire. Flames engulf buildings along Bermondsey Street, casting an eerie glow against the night sky. The destructive force of nature is palpable as billowing smoke fills every corner of the frame. Intriguingly, our attention is drawn towards Tyers Gateway - a prominent landmark standing defiant amidst the chaos. This gateway serves as a symbol of resilience and strength amid adversity. Through this artwork, we gain insight into the historical significance of fires and their devastating consequences for communities like Bermondsey Street in London. It reminds us of how fragile our surroundings can be and how important it is to preserve and protect them. Bridgeman Images has once again provided us with a remarkable piece from their Fine Art Finder collection – showcasing not only artistic talent but also preserving moments that shaped our past.
