EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Nonsuch House, a true architectural marvel of its time. Created in 1872 by an unknown artist, this image transports us back to the 16th century when Nonsuch House stood proudly on old London Bridge. Originally constructed in the Netherlands, this extraordinary building was dismantled and transported piece by piece to London in 1578, making it the earliest documented prefabricated structure known to man. Serving as a grand entrance from Southwark into the City of London, Nonsuch House held great historical significance. Regrettably, this magnificent gateway met its demise during the eighteenth century when it was torn down. However, thanks to Walter Thornbury's comprehensive book "Old and New London" we can still admire its splendor through prints like these. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this photograph while highlighting the intricate details of Nonsuch House's half-timbered design. Its location on old London Bridge further emphasizes its importance within British history. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of both England's rich heritage and the ingenuity of our ancestors who created such masterpieces. Let us cherish these glimpses into our past and appreciate how architecture has shaped our cities throughout centuries gone by.
