EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a street map of London around Guildhall, dating back to approximately 1795. Created by the talented cartographer Richard Horwood, this intricate piece offers a glimpse into the city's layout during that era. The map was part of Horwood's ambitious project, consisting of 32 sheets and published between 1792-9. Horwood dedicated his masterpiece to the Phoenix Fire Office, emphasizing its importance in providing accurate information for urban planning and fire prevention. This particular map stands out as it was the first attempt since Ogilby and Morgan's renowned "Large and Accurate Map of the City of London" from 1676 to depict every single house within London, Westminster, Southwark, and their surrounding areas. As we explore this detailed artwork further, notable landmarks such as Aldersgate, Aldermanbury, Barbican, Cripplegate can be identified alongside various streets like White Cross Street and Red Cross Street. The iconic Guildhall proudly marks its presence on this historical document while livery halls and goldsmiths' establishments are scattered throughout the cityscape. The print not only serves as an invaluable resource for historians but also captures our imagination with its meticulous portrayal of churches, properties, and bustling streets like Jewin Crescent. It is a testament to Horwood's dedication to documenting London's ever-evolving landscape.
