EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1870, offering a glimpse into the rich history of London. The image showcases a section of the Old London Wall near Falcon Square, an area that was once part of the Roman trading port known as Londinium. Built by the Romans to protect their bustling city on the banks of River Thames, these walls stood strong for centuries until their maintenance ceased in the 18th century. The photograph is sourced from "Old and New London". Volume I, a publication by Walter Thornbury dating back to 1897. Its monochrome composition adds an air of nostalgia and highlights intricate details such as weathered stones and ancient architecture. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, it's fascinating to imagine how life would have unfolded within these fortified walls. The unknown creator has expertly captured both the grandeur and resilience embodied by this historic landmark. Through this remarkable print, we are transported back in time - witnessing not only a physical structure but also glimpses into occupations, professions, and daily life during nineteenth-century Britain. It serves as a poignant reminder of our connection to past civilizations while igniting curiosity about what lies beyond those stone barriers that once protected one of Europe's greatest cities.
