EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Staircase down which the procession descended" takes us back to a significant moment in history - the opening of the Thames Tunnel. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures the essence of that monumental event. The image showcases a grand staircase leading downwards, serving as an entrance to the tunnel. A bustling crowd fills every inch of space, eagerly awaiting the arrival of a majestic procession. The architecture surrounding them is awe-inspiring; it exudes elegance and sophistication. As we delve deeper into this scene, our eyes are drawn to individuals clad in exquisite clothing, reflecting their social status and adding vibrancy to the composition. London's rich cultural tapestry is on full display here. Beyond its aesthetic appeal lies historical significance. This engraving immortalizes a turning point for transportation infrastructure -the opening of one of London's most iconic landmarks: The Thames Tunnel. It symbolizes progress and innovation during that era. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this piece from their private collection, allowing us to appreciate not only its artistic merit but also its ability to transport us back in time. As we gaze upon this print, we can almost hear echoes of excitement reverberating through those historic walls and feel ourselves becoming part of that extraordinary moment captured so beautifully before us.
