EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Old London, Wych-Street" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Victorian-era England. The print, created by Samuel Read in 1870, offers a glimpse into the architectural beauty and charm that once graced Wych Street. As we examine this historical artwork, our eyes are immediately drawn to the intricate details of the buildings lining both sides of the street. Each structure seems to tell its own story with their unique facades and ornate designs. The artist's skillful hand brings out every brick and window frame with great precision, allowing us to appreciate the craftsmanship of these long-lost architectural gems. The scene is filled with activity as people go about their daily lives on this vibrant street. Pedestrians can be seen strolling along the cobblestone pavement while horse-drawn carriages pass by in a blur of motion. It's as if time has stood still for just a moment, capturing a snapshot of life in old London. This enchanting engraving not only serves as a visual feast for art enthusiasts but also acts as an invaluable historical document. It provides us with a glimpse into how London looked during this era – its architecture, its people, and its energy. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can now admire this remarkable piece from Old London's past and transport ourselves back in time through one single image.
