EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the bustling streets of 17th century London. The image showcases three magnificent houses that once graced the Strand, a vibrant thoroughfare backing onto the majestic River Thames. Durham House, originally built as a summer retreat for the Bishops of Durham, stands tall with its elegant architecture and grandeur. Next to it, Salisbury House commands attention with its regal presence, constructed by Robert Cecil, Earl of Salisbury during James I's reign. Completing this trio is Worcester House, which was initially owned by the See of Carlisle before being acquired by the Earls of Worcester. These stately homes exude an air of sophistication and opulence against the backdrop of their picturesque riverbank location. The engraving beautifully captures not only these architectural marvels but also offers glimpses into life along the river. A boat gently glides through the water transport system while people traverse nearby streets on foot or horse-drawn carriages. Wenceslaus Hollar's masterful craftsmanship brings this historical scene to life in exquisite detail. His monochrome rendering adds depth and character to every line etched onto paper. As we admire this print from centuries past, we are reminded of London's rich history and how it continues to evolve over time. It serves as a testament to both architectural brilliance and artistic expression that transcends generations.
