EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the City of Westminster in 1647. Captured by Wenceslaus Hollar, a renowned artist of his time, this view showcases the iconic Parliament House, Westminster Hall, and Abbey from across the majestic River Thames. The image is an illustration from "A Short History of the English People" by John Richard Green, providing us with a glimpse into England's rich political and religious history. The architectural beauty of these buildings stands tall against the backdrop of a bustling riverbank. Transportation on water was crucial during this period, as boats can be seen gracefully gliding along the Thames. This snapshot perfectly encapsulates both the grandeur of London's architecture and its reliance on water transport for trade and travel. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this nineteenth-century print. It transports us to an era when Stuart rule dominated British politics and religion played a significant role in shaping society. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene, we are reminded not only of London's geographical features but also its cultural significance as a center for government and religion. This print serves as a testament to our country's heritage while offering us an opportunity to reflect on how far we have come since those seventeenth-century times.
