EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Part of Modern London, Showing the Ancient Wall, 1897" takes us back in time to the late 19th century. The creator of this remarkable piece remains unknown, but their work beautifully captures a snapshot of London's rich history. The image showcases a detailed map of the City of London, with its iconic landmarks and places prominently displayed. St Pauls Cathedral stands tall amidst the bustling cityscape, while the Tower of London exudes an air of mystery and intrigue. Bridges such as Blackfriars, Southwark, and London Bridges span across the River Thames, connecting both sides with elegance. One cannot miss noticing the Bank of England and Stock Exchange buildings that symbolize Britain's financial prowess during that era. However, what truly sets this print apart is its inclusion of ancient Roman walls encircling parts of modern-day London. These remnants from centuries past serve as a reminder that even amidst progress and development, traces of history are always present. Originally published in Walter Thornbury's renowned book "Old and New London" this print offers us a glimpse into how much has changed over time while also celebrating what has endured throughout centuries. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece today, it serves as a testament to our collective heritage—a visual representation showcasing not only architectural marvels but also capturing moments frozen in time for generations to come.
