EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate "Plan of the Cities of London and Westminster and Borough of Southwark" engraved by John Tinney in 1746. The masterful work, created by Rocque, offers a detailed street map that takes us back to the bustling streets of 18th-century London. With a scale of 26 inches to one mile, this particular section highlights Green Park, St. James's Park, Pall Mall, and the area north to Hanover Square. It provides an invaluable glimpse into the urban landscape of that time period. As we examine this historical artifact closely, we are transported to an era where horse-drawn carriages traversed these very streets. The meticulously etched lines depict the layout of roads and buildings with remarkable precision. The inclusion of parks amidst the cityscape reminds us that even in those times, green spaces were cherished oases amid urban chaos. Soho and Piccadilly can also be spotted on this map—names that still resonate today as vibrant neighborhoods within modern-day London. Preserved by the London Metropolitan Archives for generations to come, this engraving is not only a testament to John Rocque's artistic skill but also serves as a valuable resource for historians and enthusiasts alike who seek insight into London's rich past.
