EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling cityscape of London in the 17th century. Created by renowned artist Wenceslaus Hollar, this panoramic view showcases the vibrant life along the River Thames, with Southwark as our vantage point. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece, our eyes are immediately drawn to two iconic landmarks at its center: The Globe Theatre and the Bear Garden. These cultural hubs were not only sources of entertainment but also symbols of London's rich heritage. Intriguingly, three cherubic figures known as putti grace the sky above, each holding a book. Their presence adds an ethereal touch to this already enchanting scene, perhaps symbolizing knowledge or inspiration that flows through the city. The monochrome palette enhances the sense of nostalgia and timelessness captured within this engraving. Every intricate detail from rooftop to river is meticulously etched by Hollar's skilled hand, allowing us to immerse ourselves in a world long gone yet forever preserved on paper. Whether you are an admirer of London's history or simply captivated by stunning panoramas, this print is sure to transport you back centuries and ignite your imagination with its depiction of a vibrant metropolis steeped in culture and entertainment.
