EDITORS COMMENTS
The City of London, c1872. This print captures the essence of 19th century London, showcasing the bustling streets and iconic landmarks that defined the era. In this view of the Embankment and the River Thames, we are treated to a picturesque scene featuring Blackfriars road and railway bridges, with St Paul's Cathedral majestically standing in the distance. The road bridge, a masterpiece designed by Joseph Cubitt and opened in 1869, takes center stage as horse-drawn carts traverse its path. The London Stone rests below, adding an air of historical significance to this already enchanting composition. As we explore every detail within this monochrome landscape, chimney smoke billows from rooftops while pedestrians go about their daily occupations. The image is a testament to both architectural marvels and everyday life in Victorian England. This stunning photograph comes from 'Old and New London', Volume II: A Narrative of Its History, Its People, and Its Places' by Walter Thornbury - a publication that has become synonymous with capturing the rich history of our beloved city. Step back in time with this remarkable piece of artistry; it allows us to immerse ourselves in a bygone era where transportation relied on horse-drawn vehicles traversing cobblestone streets. Let your imagination wander as you take in the beauty of 19th century London through this extraordinary print.
