EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back in time to the bustling city of London during the 18th century. The image showcases a view of London Bridge before its transformation, when houses still adorned its structure. This historical print, part of a private collection, offers a glimpse into the past and provides valuable insights into the architectural evolution of one of London's iconic landmarks. The intricate details captured by the anonymous English School engraver transport us to an era where antiquity was still prevalent. The bridge stands tall as pedestrians traverse its wooden planks, connecting different parts of the city. Its stone pillars exude strength and resilience against time's relentless passage. Ruins and Antient Buildings in England & Wales serve as inspiration for this illustration, published by Alex Hogg in 1795. It serves as a testament to our fascination with history and preservation, offering viewers an opportunity to reflect on how much has changed over centuries. As we gaze upon this old building amidst ruins, we are reminded that even structures once deemed essential can succumb to ruination. Yet through engravings like these, their stories endure forever – reminding us not only of their former glory but also inspiring new generations to appreciate their significance within our collective history.
