EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to Victorian London. Created by an unknown artist, this intriguing illustration captures the essence of British power and wealth during the 19th century. In the foreground, we see the majestic British lion, its paws resting confidently on bags overflowing with money. This symbolizes Britain's dominance in finance and trade at that time. The lion stands proudly against a backdrop of the iconic River Thames, flowing gracefully through the heart of London. St Paul's Cathedral rises majestically in the distance, representing Christianity's influence over this bustling city. This image was originally published as part of a supplement to "Illustrated London News" a popular newspaper in Victorian England. It accompanied a song composed by E. J. Loder with lyrics penned by Bayley, adding another layer of artistic expression to this visual masterpiece. As we gaze upon this historic engraving today, it serves as a reminder of London's rich history and its significance as an economic powerhouse during that era. The print transports us back to a time when religion played an integral role in society and financial prosperity was synonymous with British identity. "The City of the World!, 1844" is not just an artwork; it encapsulates an entire era within its monochromatic frame – one filled with ambition, faith, and unparalleled grandeur.
