EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Fishmongers Hall, Thames Street" takes us back to the bustling streets of London in the early 19th century. The image showcases the grandeur of Fishmongers Hall, a significant landmark that has seen its fair share of destruction and rebirth throughout history. The original Fishmongers Hall was tragically lost in the Great Fire of London, but this print captures its subsequent incarnation before it too met a fiery fate during the blitz. The building's architectural details are meticulously engraved by J. Greig, allowing us to appreciate the craftsmanship that went into its construction. Intricate carvings adorn the hall's doorway and pediment, featuring fish and dolphins as symbols of abundance and prosperity. Passersby can be seen on Thames Street, going about their daily lives while admiring this impressive structure. The inclusion of a boy with his loyal dog adds a touch of charm to the scene, reminding us that amidst all grandeur lies human connection and companionship. A group of elegantly dressed ladies further enhances our glimpse into society at that time. This historical engraving not only serves as a visual record but also sparks curiosity about how such magnificent buildings have shaped London's ever-evolving landscape over centuries gone by.
