EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of 17th century London, specifically Fleet Prison. The image showcases the grandeur of this historic building, which was first constructed in 1197 but tragically burnt down during the Great Fire of London in 1666. However, it was not long before Fleet Prison rose from its ashes and was rebuilt. The scene depicted outside the prison is a snapshot of social history, revealing a glimpse into daily life during this era. People can be seen going about their business on the street, perhaps unaware or unaffected by the harsh realities within those prison walls. Fleet Prison gained infamy for having exorbitant fees compared to other English prisons at that time. It became notorious as a place where debtors were incarcerated until they could repay their debts or secure release through other means. This detailed illustration captures not only architectural elements but also provides insight into urban development and city planning during this period. It serves as a valuable historical document that allows us to reflect upon our past while appreciating how far we have come. Bridgeman Images has once again preserved an important piece of history through this remarkable photograph print, reminding us of London's rich cultural heritage and its enduring impact on society.
