EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting engraving captures the devastating moment when Old Saint Paul's Cathedral was engulfed in flames during the Great Fire of London in 1666. The artist, John Franklin, skillfully conveys the chaos and destruction of this historic event, with billowing smoke and raging fire consuming the iconic landmark.
The Fire of London was a catastrophic event that swept through the city for five days, destroying thousands of homes and buildings, including the grand cathedral that had stood for centuries. The sight of Old Saint Paul's burning must have been both awe-inspiring and heartbreaking for those who witnessed it firsthand.
Through this detailed illustration, we are transported back to a time when London was ablaze with fire and its people were left reeling from the devastation. It serves as a powerful reminder of the resilience and strength of the city, which rose from the ashes to rebuild and thrive once again.
As we gaze upon this print, we can't help but feel a sense of reverence for those who lived through such a harrowing experience. It is a testament to human perseverance in the face of tragedy, capturing a moment in history that will never be forgotten.
