EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of London's Strand in 1560. The image, an engraving by Ralph Aggas, offers a glimpse into the rich history and vibrant atmosphere of this iconic location. The Strand, as depicted on Aggas' map, is teeming with activity. People from all walks of life can be seen going about their daily routines - merchants haggling over goods, nobles strolling leisurely in their elaborate attire, and commoners rushing through the crowded thoroughfare. The architecture of the buildings lining the street is a testament to the grandeur of Elizabethan London. Intricate facades adorned with ornate carvings and towering chimneys create a picturesque scene that transports us back to this bygone era. As we delve deeper into this historical snapshot, it becomes evident that The Strand was not only a hub for commerce but also an epicenter for cultural exchange. The presence of theaters and taverns suggests that entertainment played a significant role in shaping the social fabric of this vibrant neighborhood. Thanks to Walter Thornbury's meticulous restoration work on this digitally cleaned image, we are able to appreciate every intricate detail captured by Aggas centuries ago. This remarkable piece serves as a reminder of how our cities have evolved over time while still retaining echoes of their past glory. It invites us to reflect on our own place within history and appreciate the enduring legacy left behind by those who came before us.
