EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 18th century, offering a mesmerizing view of London and the majestic River Thames. As we gaze westwards through the city, our eyes are drawn to an array of sailing ships gracefully gliding along the river's surface. The artwork, produced around 1760 by Bowles and Carver, showcases some of London's most iconic landmarks that have stood the test of time. In the center stands St Pauls Cathedral, its grandeur dominating the skyline with its magnificent dome. To the upper left, Westminster Abbey proudly displays its Gothic architecture, exuding a sense of history and spirituality. On the right side of this bustling scene lies two significant structures: firstly, we find ourselves captivated by The Monument to the Great Fire of London—a towering tribute commemorating one of history's most devastating events—and secondly, nestled below it is none other than the formidable Tower of London. Notably absent from this depiction are houses on Old London Bridge which were removed between 1758 and 1762 as part of urban development efforts. However, two other bridges make their presence known in this snapshot: Putney Bridge (opened in 1729) and Westminster Bridge (opened in 1740), both since replaced by modern counterparts. Through this monochrome masterpiece capturing a moment frozen in time, we catch a glimpse into London's rich cultural heritage—its architectural marvels blending seamlessly with maritime activity on one Europe's most famous waterways—the mighty River Thames.
