EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "A Vanishing London Thoroughfare, Wych Street" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of early 20th century London. Created by the talented artist Hugh Thomson, this artwork was originally published in The Illustrated London News on December 27,1902. The image showcases Wych Street, a now-vanished thoroughfare that once stood as a testament to the architectural beauty of old London. Thomson's attention to detail brings every element of this scene to life - from the intricate facades of the buildings lining both sides of the street to the cobblestone pavement beneath our feet. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported into an era where horse-drawn carriages traversed these narrow byways and pedestrians hurried along with umbrellas in hand. The architecture reflects a blend of European influences, hinting at Ireland's artistic heritage through its Irish-born creator. Thomson's expertise as an illustrator shines through his ability to capture not only physical structures but also evoke emotions within viewers. This piece serves as a poignant reminder that even grand cityscapes can fade away over time, making it all the more valuable for preserving history through art. This remarkable print is part of Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection and offers us a glimpse into a vanishing world that continues to captivate audiences today.
