The Old Bridge, The Only Bridge Over the Thames Until 1750, Stood for Six and a Half Centuries
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph print from the 1930s, showcasing a view of London Bridge as it appeared in the year 1616. The image, created by an unknown artist, is a reproduction of an engraving by Claes Jansz Visscher, titled "An Sight of the Said Noble River Thames," published in Alan Bell's book "The Said Noble River." The photograph captures the houses on the old bridge over the River Thames, with Southwark Cathedral standing prominently in the foreground. The entrance gate to the bridge is adorned with heads on spikes, a common sight during that era as a deterrent against potential invaders. The bridge, which was the only one over the Thames until 1750, is a testament to the rich history of London and its significance as a major trading hub. The photograph transports us back in time, providing a glimpse into the city's past, with its medieval houses, sailing ships, and bustling port activity. The image is a beautiful example of the intricacies of 17th-century architecture and the importance of water transportation in the city's development. The photograph's grainy texture and monochrome palette add to its historical charm, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical or architectural photographs. The photograph is also a reminder of the evolution of London's infrastructure and how the city has transformed over the centuries. It is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on London's history and its enduring significance as a global city.
