EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, titled "The Temple-Bar Memorial" takes us on a journey back in time to the bustling streets of 19th century London. The image showcases an iconic landmark that once stood at the boundary between the City of London and Westminster. Intricately detailed, the engraving captures every architectural nuance of this magnificent structure. The Temple-Bar Memorial was adorned with ornate sculptures depicting dragons, symbolizing strength and protection. These mythical creatures seem to come alive as they guard the entrance to the city, their fierce expressions capturing our attention. As we delve deeper into this historical scene, we are transported to a bygone era where horse-drawn carriages navigate through cobblestone streets lined with elegant buildings. People in period attire can be seen going about their daily lives, adding a sense of liveliness to this snapshot from history. This print is not only a visual delight but also serves as a valuable educational tool. Originally published in The Illustrated London News in 1880, it offers us insight into Victorian society and its fascination with preserving heritage landmarks like the Temple-Bar Memorial. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this piece of art for future generations to enjoy and learn from.
