EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Thomas Bowles takes us back to the bustling streets of Fish Street Hill in London, circa 1750. The artist skillfully captures a moment in time, showcasing not only the architectural beauty of the city but also its vibrant street life. In the foreground, we see a drover leading his livestock through the busy avenue, surrounded by carts and carriages transporting goods. This glimpse into 18th-century agriculture and road transport provides a fascinating insight into daily life during this era. As our eyes wander further down Fish Street Hill, we are met with an imposing monument that stands as a solemn reminder of the Great Fire of London in 1666. Its grandeur dominates the scene, symbolizing both resilience and remembrance. Bowles' engraving perfectly encapsulates the charm of this historic location. The monochrome palette adds depth to every intricate detail, emphasizing the architectural splendor that lines both sides of this iconic street. This remarkable artwork is now preserved at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery for all to admire. It serves as a testament to Thomas Bowles' talent as an artist and his ability to capture moments frozen in time. Let yourself be transported back centuries ago as you delve into this mesmerizing snapshot of Fish Street Hill's past.
