From historic maps to modern marvels, this collection showcases the beauty landmarks across different eras and locations. The engraving of a Map of Bloomsbury and Holborn in London from 1746 takes us back in time, revealing the early development of these iconic areas. Fast forward to 1935, we witness the grand opening of the De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill-on-Sea, East Sussex – a shining example of Art Deco architecture that still captivates visitors today. Moving northwards to Dundee around 1832, a pen & ink drawing captures The High School's impressive structure as it stands proudly amidst its surroundings. Serpentine Bridge emerges as another architectural gem, gracefully spanning over tranquil waters with its elegant design. The mention of a brand new tower piques curiosity - is it an emblematic skyscraper or an ancient watchtower restored? Regardless, it represents progress and innovation. Similarly, New Dock in Wapping transports us back to 1808 when bustling maritime activities shaped London's landscape. Venturing further into London's history brings us to West India Trade Docks depicted in a colored print from 1802. These docks were at the heart of Britain's thriving trade empire during that era. Finally, our journey takes us overseas to Old Havana where a newly-built Russian Orthodox cathedral graces Avenida del Puerto. This architectural masterpiece serves as both a symbol of faith and cultural exchange between nations. In this diverse compilation, we witness how human ingenuity has continuously reshaped our world through construction projects big and small. Each landmark tells its own story while collectively reflecting humanity's desire for progress and beauty.
