EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of London around the year 1600. The image, titled "London Bridge and its Surroundings" offers a glimpse into the vibrant cityscape during the Elizabethan era. The skyline is dominated by St. Mary Magdalene's Church, a majestic cathedral that stands proudly amidst its surroundings. Nearby, we can see the remnants of Winchester House and Bride Gate, reminding us of the rich history embedded within these ancient structures. As our eyes wander across this detailed engraving, we notice various landmarks that once defined this part of Southwark. From Fishmongers Hall to Nonsuch House, each building tells a story of its own. We also catch sight of St. Thomas A Becket Chapel and wooden towers on London Bridge itself – testaments to medieval engineering marvels. However, not all aspects depicted are pleasant reminders; there is an eerie presence as we observe heads displayed on Bridge Gate – grim reminders of traitors who met their fate here. Through this evocative photograph from Old London Illustrated series by Henry William Brewer, we are transported back in time to experience the charm and grandeur of Tudor-era London. It serves as a visual testament to how much has changed over centuries while highlighting elements that have stood strong against time's relentless march forward.
