EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the bustling streets of London in 1647. The detailed engraving, a facsimile copy by Wenceslaus Hollar, offers a glimpse into the city's rich history and architectural marvels. In this particular detail of the print, our eyes are drawn to several significant landmarks that defined London during this era. From left to right, we can spot Sussex House, Scotland Yard, York House, Durham House, and Whitehall. These grand structures stand proudly along the banks of the majestic River Thames. The river itself is teeming with life as various ships sail through its waters. One cannot help but imagine the vibrant trade and commerce that took place on these very shores centuries ago. As we delve deeper into the scene, our attention is captured by an intriguing figure: Neptune. The god of freshwater and sea in Roman mythology stands prominently near one of London's bridges. His presence adds an air of mystique to this already enchanting view. This remarkable print not only showcases Hollar's exceptional talent as an engraver but also serves as a valuable historical document for those interested in exploring London's past. It reminds us of how much has changed over time while preserving the timeless beauty and allure of this iconic cityscape.
