EDITORS COMMENTS
This fascinating print of the "London Map 1756" takes us back in time to a London that is almost unrecognizable from the bustling metropolis we know today. In this map, London is still surrounded by vast fields, with only Tyburn (note the gallows) and Buckingham House on the outskirts of the city. Trafalgar Square has yet to be built, and Mayfair remains undeveloped.
The intricate details of this historical map provide a glimpse into what life was like in 18th century England. The plans and layouts depicted here offer a unique perspective on how urban development has transformed over the centuries.
As you study this map closely, you can't help but marvel at how much London has evolved since 1756. The contrast between then and now is striking, highlighting just how much history is woven into every corner of this vibrant city.
Whether you're a history buff or simply appreciate fine art, this print from Mary Evans Picture Library is sure to captivate your imagination and spark curiosity about London's rich past. It serves as a reminder that even in an ever-changing world, traces of our heritage are always waiting to be discovered.
