EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the bustling streets of Fleet Street, London. The image showcases two old houses standing tall amidst a backdrop of other architectural marvels. However, their fate seems sealed as they stand on the brink of demolition. The engraving, created by Herbert Railton in 1891 for The Illustrated London News, captures a moment frozen in history. These two houses are about to be pulled down, forever altering the landscape of this iconic street. Their weathered facades tell stories of years gone by - witnessing countless events and people passing through their doors. As we gaze upon this print, we can't help but feel a sense of nostalgia for an era long past. It serves as a reminder that progress often comes at the cost of losing pieces of our heritage. Yet it also sparks curiosity about what lies beyond these walls - what secrets do these old houses hold? The fine details captured in this engraving transport us into another world entirely. We can almost hear the sounds of horse-drawn carriages clattering along cobblestone streets and imagine the vibrant energy that once filled Fleet Street. This print from Bridgeman Images is not just an artistic masterpiece; it is a window into history itself – reminding us to appreciate and preserve our architectural treasures before they vanish forever.
