EDITORS COMMENTS
This litho print titled "London Bridge is Broken down" takes us back to the 20th century, showcasing a historical moment in time. The artwork, created by an English School artist, captures the essence of a significant event that occurred in 1014. The image depicts the iconic London Bridge under attack by Vikings led by Olaf the Norseman. As boats and ships fill the Thames River, chaos ensues as defenders try to protect the bridge from being destroyed. The engraving beautifully illustrates this intense battle scene with intricate details and skillful craftsmanship. This print was originally featured as an illustration for "The Romance of the Nation" edited by Charles Ray and published around 1925. It offers a glimpse into history through art, allowing viewers to imagine themselves witnessing this dramatic event firsthand. The composition not only showcases transportation vessels such as tugboats but also highlights how London Bridge served as a crucial means of transport during that era. This historical artifact serves as a reminder of how bridges have always played vital roles in connecting people and places throughout history. As we admire this litho print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of both the vulnerability and resilience of human creations against forces beyond our control.
