EDITORS COMMENTS
The Monument to the Great Fire of London, also known as The Monument, stands tall and proud in this 19th-century print. Capturing a moment frozen in time, the image transports us back to the year 1890 when this iconic structure dominated the London skyline. Designed by Sir Christopher Wren and Robert Hooke, The Monument was erected to commemorate the devastating Great Fire of London that ravaged the city in 1666. Its towering presence serves as a reminder of both tragedy and resilience, symbolizing the strength and determination of Londoners throughout history. The print showcases The Monument's impressive column rising into the heavens, surrounded by elegant colonnades that exude grandeur and sophistication. As we gaze upon it, we can almost feel its commanding presence and imagine ourselves walking through those hallowed corridors. Intriguingly captured amidst an atmosphere filled with flames and burning braziers, this image evokes a sense of drama and intensity. It reminds us of the destructive power that engulfed London centuries ago but also highlights humanity's ability to rise from ashes stronger than ever before. This remarkable piece is part of a private collection curated by Hilary Morgan—a testament to her passion for preserving historical artifacts. Through her lens, she has immortalized not only The Monument itself but also our shared connection with England's capital city. As we admire this print today, let us reflect on London's rich history—its triumphs over adversity—and appreciate how far it has come since those fiery days. This artwork invites us to delve into our collective past while inspiring hope for a brighter future.
