EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "London Bridge and its surroundings about the year 1600" takes us on a journey back in time to the bustling cityscape of old London. The print, created by Henry William Brewer in 1884, offers a remarkable glimpse into the architectural marvels and vibrant atmosphere that once defined this iconic landmark. The scene unfolds from the Surrey side of the River Thames, showcasing an array of historical treasures. Dominating the skyline is London Bridge itself, with its grandeur and intricate design capturing our attention. As we explore further, our eyes are drawn to St Mary Overy's Church and Winchester House nearby – testaments to the rich history embedded within these ancient streets. The artist skillfully captures every detail: from the impressive gateways that welcomed visitors into this thriving metropolis to the sturdy piers supporting London Bridge. The docks and wharfs along the riverbank reveal a hive of activity as ships come and go, while pontoons line up neatly against a well-constructed harbor wall. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness not just buildings but also life unfolding before us - people going about their daily routines amidst this picturesque setting. It serves as a reminder of how much has changed over centuries yet also highlights how certain landmarks endure through time. Brewer's engraving transports us back four centuries ago when London was still finding its place on both national and international stages. This print is not just an artwork; it is an invitation to immerse ourselves in
