EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling city of London in 1616. The attention to detail in Claes Jansz Visschers' view of London is truly remarkable, allowing us a glimpse into the past. In this particular detail, we are transported to the south bank of the River Thames, where two iconic landmarks stand proudly. On one side, we see the Bear Garden, a popular entertainment venue known for its bear-baiting spectacles that drew crowds from far and wide. Adjacent to it stands the magnificent Globe Theatre, home to some of William Shakespeare's most famous plays. These structures serve as a testament to both the cultural and recreational activities enjoyed by Londoners during this era. Across the river lies Old St. Paul's Cathedral, an architectural marvel that dominated London's skyline at that time. Its grandeur is accentuated by its proximity to the flowing waters of the Thames and adds a sense of majesty and tranquility amidst all the hustle and bustle depicted in this scene. The engraving technique used by Visscher brings out every intricate detail with precision - from sailboats gracefully navigating on the river to chimneys billowing smoke into an overcast sky. This panorama captures not only physical elements but also evokes a sense of nostalgia for early maritime transportation and life along riverside communities. Overall, this print offers viewers an immersive experience into historical London while showcasing Visscher's artistic prowess as he masterfully captures both architecture and daily
