Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures the chaos and intensity of a devastating fire that ravaged Southwark. In this scene, we are transported to Cottons Wharf on a fateful Sunday morning. The flames engulf buildings along the River Thames as billows of smoke fill the air. The artist skillfully portrays the sheer scale of destruction with meticulous detail and an eye for drama. As we gaze upon this historic event frozen in time, our imagination is ignited by thoughts of heroism and survival amidst such turmoil. We can almost hear the crackling of burning timber and feel the heat radiating from the inferno. "The Great Fire in Southwark" serves not only as a visual record but also as a reminder of London's resilience throughout its history.
