A captivating journey through time and space, these engravings and paintings offer a mesmerizing city overview. From the bustling streets of Newcastle-on-Tyne to the historic charm of York in 1738, each image transports us to a different era. St. Clement Danes Church stands tall on Strand, its timeless beauty captured in an enchanting 1817 engraving. As we delve further into history, "Alone in London" depicts a melancholic scene from c. 1894, evoking emotions that transcend time. Artistic masterpieces also grace this collection; "Mars, surrounded by the Arts and Sciences, " painted in 1605, portrays knowledge triumphing over ignorance with breathtaking detail. San Samuele in Venice showcases delicate watercolors that bring this iconic location to life while "Old Houses at Clapham Common" offers a glimpse into London's past through lithography. Traveling across continents, our eyes are drawn to Berlin's architectural wonders as seen from above in an intricate engraving titled "Birds-Eye View of Berlin. " The picturesque town and harbor of Dunedin captivate us with their natural beauty in another stunning engraving. London's foggy ambiance takes center stage as Waterloo Bridge is beautifully depicted amidst misty hues in a remarkable oil painting from 1903. Equally captivating is Charing-Cross Bridge portrayed during the early 20th century – both artworks capturing the essence of London's ever-changing atmosphere. Lastly, we find ourselves transported to Quito through an intricately detailed engraving taken just before a devastating earthquake struck. This view from the Convent of San Juan serves as a poignant reminder of both nature's power and human resilience.
