EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1878, capturing a moment frozen in time just before the demolition of The Four Swans Inn. Renowned artist Walter Thornbury skillfully engraved this piece for his publication "Old and New London Volume 2" published by Cassell, Petter and Galpin. The image showcases an elevated view of the inn's exterior in stunning monochrome. The architectural details are beautifully rendered, showcasing the intricate craftsmanship that characterized buildings of that era. Pedestrians can be seen strolling along the street, with both men and women adding life to the scene. A lady stands near a dog, perhaps engaged in conversation with a gentleman nearby. The composition offers a unique perspective on urban life during the 19th century. It transports us to a bustling cityscape where people went about their daily routines amidst charming structures like The Four Swans Inn. As we gaze upon this remarkable engraving, we cannot help but feel connected to history - witnessing an era long gone yet preserved through artistry. It serves as a poignant reminder of how our surroundings change over time while also highlighting the importance of preserving our architectural heritage.
