EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph transports us back to the bustling streets of 19th century London. The image showcases the impressive London and Greenwich Railway bridge as it gracefully spans over Neckinger Road in Bermondsey. The architectural marvel of this railway bridge is evident in its elegant archway design, a testament to the civil engineering prowess of the time. It stands tall amidst a backdrop of charming Georgian houses, creating an intriguing contrast between old and new. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we can almost hear the clatter of horse-drawn carriages and feel the energy of a city on the brink of industrial revolution. People going about their daily lives add life to this scene, reminding us that even centuries ago, London was a vibrant hub for commerce and transportation. The artist behind this lithograph, GF Bragg, skillfully captures both the grandeur of architecture and everyday street scenes with his use of color or rather lack thereof. The monochromatic palette emphasizes details such as cobblestone lanes and intricate brickwork. Preserved within Guildhall Library and Art Gallery's collection, this print serves as a window into Britain's rich heritage. It allows us to appreciate not only how far our cities have come but also how much they retain their timeless charm despite evolving through time.
