EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving transports us back to the bustling streets of 19th century London. The image showcases a scene of significant change, as old houses near St Dunstans Church in Fleet-Street have recently been demolished. The architectural details of these now-vanished buildings are beautifully captured in this print, allowing us to appreciate the craftsmanship and charm that once graced this historic area. Each brick seems to tell a story, hinting at the lives and stories that unfolded within those walls. As we gaze upon this snapshot from the past, we can almost hear the echoes of footsteps on cobblestone streets and imagine horse-drawn carriages passing by. It is a reminder that cities are constantly evolving, with new structures replacing old ones as time marches on. St Dunstans Church stands tall amidst the rubble, its spire reaching towards the sky as if symbolizing resilience in the face of change. This iconic landmark has witnessed countless transformations throughout history and continues to be an enduring presence in London's ever-changing cityscape. This engraving was originally published in The Illustrated London News on February 5th, 1859 - a testament to how even then people were fascinated by capturing moments of urban transformation. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can still admire this piece today and reflect upon our own relationship with architecture and progress.
