EDITORS COMMENTS
This incredible print captures the remarkable strength and durability of The Old Fountain in the Minories, London. Built around 1480, this historic structure was so solidly constructed that it took three horses to pull the timbers apart when it was finally demolished in 1793.
The sheer magnitude of this feat speaks to the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into creating such a sturdy building. The Old Fountain stood as a testament to the architectural prowess of its time, withstanding years of wear and tear before meeting its eventual demise.
As you gaze upon this image, you can almost feel the weight of history bearing down on those ancient timbers. The intricate design and careful construction are evident in every detail, from the ornate carvings to the weathered stone facade.
It's truly awe-inspiring to think about all that this building has witnessed over the centuries - from bustling markets and lively gatherings to quiet moments of reflection. The Old Fountain may be gone now, but its legacy lives on through images like these, preserving a piece of London's rich history for generations to come.
