EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century London. The print, titled "Turnpike in the Hampstead Road, and St Jamess Church, in 1820" showcases a moment frozen in time. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece, we are transported to an era where horse-drawn carriages traversed the cobbled streets. The scene is set on the renowned Hampstead Road, with its turnpike gate prominently featured. This gateway served as a toll booth for travelers entering or leaving London. Towering above it all is St Jamess Church, an architectural marvel that has stood tall since those early days. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable; every line and stroke captures the essence of life during this period. From the intricately designed buildings lining both sides of the road to the tiny figures going about their daily activities - each element tells a story. This print was originally created as an illustration for Walter Thornbury's book "Old and New London". It offers viewers a glimpse into a bygone era when these landmarks were still relatively new themselves. As we admire this digitally cleaned image from Bridgeman Images' private collection, let our imaginations wander through time and space. Let us appreciate how far we have come while cherishing our rich history that continues to shape our present-day cityscape.
