EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling city of London in 1616. Created by the talented artist Claes Jansz Visscher, this panoramic view showcases the grandeur of the city from a unique perspective. From the south bank of the River Thames, we gaze across its shimmering waters towards the magnificent St Paul's Cathedral. The intricate details captured in this engraving transport us to a bygone era. The boats gracefully glide along the river, serving as a reminder of London's reliance on water transport during that period. As our eyes wander further into the image, we are greeted with an awe-inspiring sight - St Paul's Cathedral majestically rising above all else. Religion played a significant role in shaping London's landscape at that time, and St Paul's Cathedral stands as a testament to Christianity's influence on society. This monochrome masterpiece not only captures architectural marvels but also offers insights into geography and historical landmarks such as Guildhall Library and Art Gallery. As we admire this seventeenth-century panorama, it is impossible not to be captivated by both its artistic beauty and historical significance. It serves as a window into London's past - an invitation to explore its rich heritage and imagine life within those ancient streets.
