EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Lime Street Ward, a bustling part of the City of London in the late 19th century. The image showcases a map dating from 1771, revealing Leadenhall fish and herb markets along with remnants of the ancient Roman walls that once enclosed this vibrant area. The unknown creator skillfully captures the essence of Lime Street Ward's rich history and trade. As we gaze upon this monochrome scene, we can almost hear the sounds of merchants haggling at the fish market and envision the busy streets filled with people going about their daily occupations. Published in "Old and New London" by Walter Thornbury, this print offers a glimpse into an era when Lime Street was lined with charming lanes and avenues. The city walls stand tall as a reminder of its walled past, while Bishopsgate Road leads us through its historic streets. With meticulous detail, this image transports us to a bygone era where commerce thrived amidst architectural marvels. It serves as both a testament to Britain's enduring heritage and an invitation to explore Lime Street Ward's fascinating past. As we admire this remarkable piece from The Print Collector collection, let us appreciate how it allows us to connect with our ancestors' lives while reminding us that even within modern cities lies hidden stories waiting to be discovered.
