EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of 18th century London. The focus of the image is "The Monument, City of London, 1700" a towering architectural marvel that stands proudly amidst its surrounding buildings. The monument's west side is beautifully captured, showcasing intricate details and craftsmanship. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, our eyes are drawn to the figures and vehicles below on Fish Street Hill. They bring life to the scene, reminding us of the vibrant activity that once filled these historic streets. Behind the monument, a titled ribbon gracefully stretches across the sky, adding an ethereal touch to this monochrome composition. This anonymous engraving offers a glimpse into British history and architecture during this period. It transports us to a bygone era when England was still referred to as "the country" and London was rapidly growing into a cosmopolitan city. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this print serves as a valuable testament to our cultural heritage. Its beauty lies not only in its visual appeal but also in its ability to ignite curiosity about centuries past.
