1666 Boat Bridge Burn Great Thames River
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Granger Art on Demand showcases the devastating event known as the Great Fire of London in 1666. The image is a contemporary engraving that vividly captures the chaos and destruction caused by this historic fire. In the foreground, we see a bustling cityscape with numerous houses, churches, and even a bridge spanning over the Thames River. The Great Fire of London was an inferno that consumed 13,200 houses and 89 churches, leaving behind only ashes and ruins in its wake. However, despite its immense scale, it is remarkable to note that this catastrophic event resulted in a surprisingly low death toll of just six individuals. The engraving beautifully depicts various elements related to transportation during that era. A boat can be seen navigating through the river while smoke billows up into the sky from burning structures nearby. This scene serves as a reminder of how maritime activities played an essential role in shaping London's history. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are transported back to a time when English society faced great adversity but managed to rise above it. It stands as a testament to human resilience and determination in rebuilding after tragedy strikes.
