EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th century print depicts a breathtaking view of the River Thames and the City of London as seen from the northwest side. The image, created between 1733 and 1779, showcases a vibrant and bustling cityscape with numerous boats and ships dotting the river. The south eastern prospect of Westminster, from Somerset House to Westminster Bridge, is also beautifully rendered in this etching. The print, which is believed to be of Dutch or Netherlandish origin due to the monogrammist TB TM, offers a unique perspective of the City of London during this period. The intricate details of the buildings, including Denmark House and various palaces, are skillfully etched onto the delicate paper. The presence of rowing boats and sailing ships adds a sense of movement and activity to the scene. This print is a testament to the rich maritime and commercial history of London during the 18th century. The River Thames was a vital transportation hub, connecting the city to the rest of Europe and beyond. The presence of boats and ships in the image reflects the importance of water transport during this time. The print is a valuable addition to any collection of heritage art, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the geographical and historical significance of the River Thames and the City of London. The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam is one of the many museums that hold similar prints from this era, reflecting the global interest in the art and history of this period.
