EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by George Scharf the Elder takes us back to June 1830, offering a glimpse into the progress of London Bridge's northern approach. The print showcases an intricate scene filled with bustling workmen and architectural marvels. As we peer into this snapshot of history, our eyes are drawn to St Michaels Church standing proudly on Crooked Lane, a structure that has since been taken down. The image captures the essence of a city in motion, as construction efforts shape the landscape along the River Thames. With meticulous detail, Scharf skillfully depicts the evolving state of London Bridge and its surroundings. The buildings surrounding it stand tall and sturdy, testaments to human ingenuity and craftsmanship. Transported to that moment in time, we can almost hear the clamor of activity echoing through each stroke of Scharf's engraving. The viewer is transported right onto the spot where this artwork was created - witnessing firsthand how progress unfolds before their very eyes. As we admire this historical gem from Bridgeman Images' collection, let us reflect on how far London has come since those days in June 1830. This print serves as a reminder that cities are ever-evolving entities shaped by both past achievements and future aspirations.
