EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured lithograph, titled "London Bridge, from Southwark Bridge" takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century London. Created by Thomas Shotter Boys as part of his renowned series "Original Views of London as It Is" in 1842, this print showcases the architectural marvel that is London Bridge. The image captures a panoramic view of the city's skyline, with the majestic bridge spanning across the River Thames. The lithograph beautifully depicts a variety of boats gracefully sailing along the river, adding movement and life to the scene. Among them are sailboats gliding through the water, their white sails billowing in harmony with the wind. Intriguingly, scattered throughout this picturesque landscape are children - boys - seemingly captivated by their surroundings. Perhaps they were mesmerized by both the grandeur of London Bridge and its vibrant atmosphere. Hand-tinted with delicate colours, this print exudes an old-fashioned charm that transports us back in time. It serves as a testament to Britain's rich heritage and historical significance while showcasing Boys' mastery in capturing intricate details through lithography. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry today, it allows us to appreciate not only how much has changed since then but also how some elements have remained constant over centuries – like our fascination with bridges connecting people and places or our enduring love for exploring cities steeped in history.
