EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Moorfields and its neighborhood in London, circa 1720. The intricate engraving, created by an anonymous English School artist from the 19th century, offers a glimpse into the rich history of this iconic area. Moorfields, known for its vibrant atmosphere and diverse community, was a hub of activity during this period. The map depicted here showcases the intricate layout of streets and buildings that once stood proud in this historical district. From grand townhouses to humble cottages, each structure tells a story of its own. The image is part of Walter Thornbury's renowned work "Old and New London" which aimed to capture the essence of England's capital city through authentic engravings sourced from various origins. This particular illustration has been digitally cleaned to enhance its clarity while preserving its original charm. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back centuries ago when horse-drawn carriages roamed these cobbled streets and merchants traded their wares amidst the hustle and bustle. It serves as a reminder that beneath modern-day London lies a tapestry woven with layers upon layers of history waiting to be discovered. This print is not only an artistic masterpiece but also an invaluable historical document that allows us to connect with our past and appreciate how far we have come as a society.
