EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a glimpse of Moorfields and its surrounding neighborhood from a map dating back to around 1720. The image, created by an unknown artist in approximately 1872, showcases part of the City of London during the 18th and 19th centuries. Moorfields stands out as one of the last remaining open spaces within the bustling cityscape. The detailed map reveals various landmarks such as Bunn Hill Fields, the Artillery Ground, Old Street, Hoxton Square, and Shoreditch. It offers a fascinating insight into the historical geography of this area. Published in Walter Thornbury's renowned book "Old and New London" this visual representation sheds light on both the history and people who once occupied these streets. The monochrome aesthetic adds a sense of nostalgia to this scene from another time. As we gaze upon this print today, it transports us back to an era when farmland still existed amidst urbanization. Tower Hamlets' countryside is juxtaposed with busy roads and lanes that were once traversed by inhabitants going about their daily lives. This print serves as a valuable piece for those interested in British history or anyone seeking to explore how cities evolve over time. Its inclusion in Thornbury's publication demonstrates its significance as an educational resource for understanding London's past.
