EDITORS COMMENTS

Painted by renowned artist Thomas Malton II, it beautifully captures the iconic Blackfriars Bridge as it looked in 1797. The bridge stands tall and proud, showcasing its architectural grandeur against a backdrop of St Paul's Cathedral. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, our eyes are drawn to the boats gracefully gliding along the River Thames beneath the bridge. They serve as a reminder of London's rich history as a major hub for water transport during that era. Designed by Robert Mylne and opened in 1769, Blackfriars Bridge was not only an engineering marvel but also an integral part of daily life for both locals and visitors alike.
