EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the City of London during the 16th century. The upper section reveals a picturesque view of the city and the majestic River Thames as they appeared in 1560. It's a glimpse into an era when London was bustling with activity, trade, and cultural richness. Moving to the middle section, we are presented with a detailed depiction of prominent buildings that once adorned Fleet Street, Baynards Castle, old St Pauls Cathedral, Cheapside, and The Royal Exchange. These structures were not only architectural marvels but also significant landmarks that shaped the history and identity of this great city. The lower section transports us to a momentous event - the aftermath of the Great Fire in 1666. This panoramic view captures Whitehall in the west all through St Pauls Cathedral and London Bridge until it reaches its easternmost point at the Tower of London. The devastating impact of this fire is evident as we witness charred remnants juxtaposed against surviving structures. This remarkable black-and-white engraving offers us an opportunity to explore centuries-old fortifications, roads, lanes, churches, and bridges that defined London's landscape during this transformative period. As we delve into each intricate detail captured by this anonymous artist from Guildhall Library and Art Gallery collection; we can't help but appreciate how religion, finance, commerce intertwined within these streetscapes.
