EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the devastating event known as "The Great Fire of London in 1666". Illustrated by Stanhope Alexander Forbes for Hutchinsons The Story of the British Nation, circa 1920, this color lithograph provides a vivid depiction of the chaos and destruction that engulfed the city. In this scene, billowing smoke fills the air as flames consume row upon row of houses along the riverbank. A sense of urgency permeates the image, with women frantically boarding boats at the quay while clutching their children tightly. The dock is bustling with activity as people desperately seek escape from the approaching inferno. Amidst this turmoil, brave individuals can be seen assisting others to safety. Rescuers rush through narrow alleyways and down crowded streets, determined to save lives amidst towering flames. Children are carried or led away from danger by caring adults who refuse to leave anyone behind. As we gaze upon this historical moment frozen in time, we are reminded not only of humanity's resilience but also its capacity for compassion and selflessness during times of crisis. This image serves as a powerful reminder that even in our darkest hours, there is always hope and heroism shining through like a beacon on London's Thames River.
