EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of 17th century London. The Map of London featuring Whitefriars, created by Morden & Lea in 1682 but printed in 1930, offers a unique aerial view of this historical city. The River Thames gracefully winds its way through the heart of London, dividing the land into distinct sections. Fleet Street, known for its vibrant newspaper industry at the time, stands out prominently with its array of buildings and busy street life. Bridewell Prison looms nearby, serving as a reminder of the city's crime-ridden past. One cannot help but be drawn to the Whitefriars Glassworks factory nestled along one side of this map. Its presence signifies an era when glass production was thriving and plays a significant role in understanding London's industrial history. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia to this print, transporting viewers back to the early 20th century when it was featured in Apollo magazine. It serves as both a geographical feature and a piece of art that captures London's essence during two different centuries. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are reminded not only of how much has changed over time but also how certain landmarks have stood the test of time. Morden & Lea's creation allows us to appreciate both the beauty and complexity that make up England's capital city - from its winding lanes to grand avenues - all within one captivating frame.
