EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable engraving by George the Elder Scharf, depicting the iconic St Michaels Church on Crooked Lane. The image takes us back to June 1830, capturing the northern approach to London Bridge during its construction phase. As we gaze upon this historical scene, we witness a bustling atmosphere filled with diligent workmen and architectural marvels. The view extends towards the majestic River Thames, adding an enchanting touch to the composition. Every detail is meticulously captured, from the intricate buildings lining Crooked Lane to the state of progress evident in every stroke of Scharf's engraving. St Michaels Church stands proudly amidst this evolving landscape; however, it has since been taken down, making this print a precious glimpse into London's past. Its absence only adds to our curiosity about its history and significance within this vibrant cityscape. As we delve into this visual masterpiece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back in time. We can almost hear the sounds of construction echoing through these streets and feel the excitement that must have permeated throughout London during this era of transformation. This print serves as a testament to both Scharf's artistic prowess and his dedication to preserving moments in history for generations to come. It reminds us of how much our cities evolve over time while also highlighting their enduring beauty and charm.
