EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases two exquisite views of Westminster, captured from original etchings by Hollar in 1647. The engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, is part of a private collection and offers a glimpse into the historical charm of England's capital city. The first view transports us to the iconic Parliament House, standing proudly against the backdrop of London's skyline. Its majestic architecture commands attention as it symbolizes centuries of political history and democratic governance. The second view presents us with the magnificent Westminster Abbey, a testament to England's rich cultural heritage. Its grandeur and intricate details are awe-inspiring, evoking a sense of reverence for those who have walked its hallowed halls throughout time. These etchings were originally featured in Walter Thornbury's "Old and New London" published around 1890. They serve as visual representations that bring to life the past while preserving its authenticity. Through digital cleaning techniques, this image has been restored to its former glory, allowing viewers to appreciate every fine detail with clarity. As we gaze upon these remarkable views from Hollar's original etchings, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the splendor and significance of Westminster during the year 1647. This print serves as a window into history—a reminder of our shared heritage and an invitation to explore further into England's fascinating past.
