EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning etching, titled "View of Westminster Bridge over the River Thames in London, viewed from the north," was created by Fabr. Parr in the year 1751. The image offers a captivating south view of Westminster Bridge, which was designed by the renowned engineer Charles Labelye. In the background, the iconic Westminster Abbey stands proudly on the right. The bridge, a marvel of 18th-century engineering, is adorned with elegant arches that allow for the passage of cargo boats and leisurely rowboats. The Thames River, a vital artery of transportation in Britain, bustles with activity, with various boats plying their trade or carrying passengers. The low countries influence is evident in the intricate details of the boats and their rigging. The etching is a testament to the artistic and cultural heritage of Europe during the eighteenth century. The paper bears the watermark of Robert Sayer, a prominent English map and print seller. This exquisite work of art, with its vibrant colors and meticulous details, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the Thames was the heart of London's commercial and transportation network.
