EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithographic print, titled "Civitas Londinum" takes us back in time to the bustling city of London during the 16th and early 17th centuries. Created by artist Ralph Agas, this illustration is a reproduction from his original survey found in the Guildhall Library. The detailed artwork showcases the cityscape of London, providing a glimpse into its architecture, streets, and overall layout during this period. The monochrome tones add an air of nostalgia to the scene, transporting viewers to a bygone era. Looking closely at this print, one can't help but notice the overwhelming sense of overcrowding within the city walls. It serves as a reminder of how London's population was rapidly growing even centuries ago. With Queen Elizabeth I reigning over England at that time, this image offers historical significance as it captures her reign through Agas' meticulous work. The Guildhall itself stands prominently in the foreground—a listed building that has withstood the test of time and remains an important landmark today. As we delve into this remarkable piece of British literature and artistry from 1886, we are reminded not only of London's rich history but also its continuous evolution throughout centuries. This print allows us to appreciate both its architectural heritage and cultural significance while immersing ourselves in a different era altogether.
