EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling city of London in 1710. The view from Southwark offers a stunning panorama, with the River Thames gracefully cutting through the landscape. Looking northwards, we are greeted by the majestic City of London, its iconic skyline rising above the horizon. In this detailed engraving, figures can be seen scattered across the foreground - people going about their daily lives alongside dogs and even a horse on a hill. These small details provide a glimpse into the vibrant atmosphere that once filled these streets. Above it all, an ornate cartouche proudly displays coats of arms and a title, adding an air of grandeur to this historic scene. The monochrome palette enhances both the sense of timelessness and allows us to focus on every intricate detail captured by anonymous hands in this eighteenth-century masterpiece. Preserved for centuries, this print is now housed at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery in London, United Kingdom. It serves as a window into England's rich history and geographical features that have shaped one of the world's most renowned cities.
