EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "LONDON: GREAT FIRE, 1666" takes us back to the devastating events that unfolded in September of that year. The image showcases St. Paul's Cathedral, transformed into a fiery volcano with molten lead pouring down from its roof like flowing lava. The Great Fire of London was a catastrophic event that ravaged the city for four days, leaving destruction and despair in its wake. This woodcut captures the intensity and chaos of those fateful moments as smoke billows out from every corner, engulfing the skyline. St. Paul's Cathedral stands tall amidst this inferno, symbolizing resilience and hope amidst adversity. As one of London's most iconic landmarks, it served as a beacon of faith during these dark times. The molten lead cascading down represents not only the physical destruction caused by the fire but also serves as a metaphor for how this disaster reshaped the cityscape forever. It reminds us of both the fragility and strength inherent in human creations. This historical woodcut offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in English history while simultaneously reminding us of our ability to rise above challenges and rebuild even after facing unimaginable devastation.
