EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic Saracens Head, Snow Hill, in all its glory. Taken around 1872 by an unknown creator, this image showcases the renowned tavern and coaching establishment that once stood proudly on the north side of Snow Hill in the City of London. However, its fate was sealed when it was demolished in 1868 to make way for the magnificent Holborn Viaduct. The photograph is a poignant reminder of a bygone era, transporting us back to Victorian England. The monochrome tones add a sense of timelessness to the scene, emphasizing both the grandeur and simplicity of this iconic building. It stands as a testament to British heritage and architectural prowess. Published in Walter Thornbury's comprehensive work "Old and New London" this image offers a glimpse into history through George Walter Thornbury's narrative lens. As we gaze upon this picture, we can almost hear the bustling sounds of horse-drawn carriages passing along the adjacent road. The demolition depicted here symbolizes progress but also reminds us of what has been lost over time. This print serves as a valuable historical document that allows us to appreciate our past while marveling at how far we have come. It is an invaluable piece from Heritage Images that invites contemplation about urban development and preservation efforts throughout history - reminding us not only of where we have been but also guiding our path forward.
