EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "London Bridges Old and New, 1831" by George Scharf, takes us back to the early 19th century in London. The image showcases the iconic London Bridge with its predecessor standing beside it. It is a powerful representation of the city's rich history and architectural evolution. The photograph captures a cloudy day in London, adding an air of mystery to the scene. In the foreground, we see a man pulling a cart with two horses trotting along a busy avenue. This bustling street reflects the vibrant energy of this thriving metropolis. In the background stands St Magnus The Martyr Church, symbolizing centuries-old religious traditions amidst modern progress. The juxtaposition of old and new is further emphasized by construction work taking place on one side of the bridge. George Scharf's artistic engraving beautifully portrays both human activity and geographical features that define London as an enduring cultural hub. This print was featured in Geoffrey Holme's book "Londoners Then and Now As Pictured By Their Contemporaries" which aimed to showcase different aspects of life in this great city throughout history. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from 1920s Britain, we are transported back in time to witness how London has evolved while still preserving its historical roots. It serves as a reminder that cities are living entities constantly shaped by their inhabitants' endeavors across generations.
