EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Pie Corner, Smithfield, where the Great Fire reached its Limits" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases a scene from Cassells History of England. The image has been digitally cleaned to preserve its essence. Intriguingly, Pie Corner stands as a symbol of resilience and survival during the devastating Great Fire that ravaged London in 1666. This particular location marked the boundary where the fire was finally contained, making it an iconic landmark forever etched in history. The engraving beautifully captures the aftermath of destruction with charred remnants and smoldering ruins scattered across Smithfield. It serves as a poignant reminder of both human tragedy and triumph over adversity. As we gaze upon this artwork, our minds are transported to a time when flames engulfed London's streets and buildings crumbled under their fiery embrace. We can almost hear the crackling inferno and feel the heat radiating from every corner. Through this evocative piece, we are reminded of our collective ability to rebuild and rise again after facing unimaginable challenges. It is a testament to humanity's indomitable spirit that continues to inspire generations even centuries later. This print not only preserves historical significance but also invites us to reflect on our own capacity for resilience amidst chaos – reminding us that even in times of darkness, there is always hope for renewal.
