EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century takes us on a journey through time, showcasing the grandeur and historical significance of the British Museum and Archaeology of London. The print beautifully captures the essence of this iconic institution, transporting us back to an era where archaeology was just beginning to unravel the mysteries of our past. The image reveals a glimpse into the Roman Empire's influence on London, with its remarkable artifacts displayed in ornate interiors. The Roman gallery stands as a testament to their architectural prowess, while a stunningly preserved roman pavement adds an air of authenticity to this archaeological treasure trove. As we explore further, we are led down corridors that whisper stories from centuries ago. A carved doorway beckons us towards Water Lane and Birchin Lane, reminding us that even amidst modernity, remnants of ancient history can still be found within these bustling streets. Intriguingly, this engraving also features Old Ship Tavern - a reminder that beneath London's contemporary facade lies layers upon layers of history waiting to be discovered. This fusion between old and new creates an enchanting atmosphere that is unique to this city. Through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back in time; our curiosity piqued by every intricate detail captured in this print. It serves as both a window into the past and an invitation for future explorations into archaeology's rich tapestry at the British Museum and Archaeology of London.
