EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic Tower of London in 1853, as seen from the bustling River Thames. The image showcases a vibrant scene filled with steamboats emitting billows of smoke, creating an atmospheric and somewhat hazy ambiance. The line engraving, skillfully executed by E. Duncan in the same year, beautifully portrays the architectural grandeur of this Norman masterpiece. The Tower of London stands tall and proud amidst a sea of activity on the river. Victorian-era sailboats gracefully glide past row boats while steam ships dominate the waters with their imposing presence. This snapshot into history not only highlights the architectural beauty but also sheds light on a time when pollution was prevalent even in such historic landmarks. The smog-filled air adds an intriguing layer to this depiction, symbolizing both progress and its consequences during that era. Despite being surrounded by industrialization and modernity, the Tower remains stoic and timeless. This remarkable piece is part of The Granger Collection's Carousel Collection—an assortment that celebrates historical moments through artful engravings like this one. It serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and invites us to reflect upon how society has evolved over time.
