EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of the City of London in the 17th century. The image showcases the seven magnificent gates that once stood proudly along the famous London Wall: Ludgate, Aldersgate, Newgate, Aldgate, Moorgate, Bishopsgate, and Cripplegate. Originally constructed during Roman times, these gateways served as entrances into the city and were an integral part of its defensive structure. However, by the 19th century (or possibly earlier), they had all been demolished except for Moorgate which retained its medieval charm. The detailed illustrations on this print provide a glimpse into what these historic gates looked like around 1650. Each gate is adorned with intricate heraldry and coat of arms that symbolize different aspects of London's rich history. As we observe this remarkable piece of artistry by an unknown creator, we are transported to a time when these gates were not just physical barriers but also symbols of prestige and power. They represented entry points into a vibrant city filled with commerce, culture, and opportunity. Through this photograph print from Heritage Images collection - courtesy of The Print Collector - we can appreciate both the architectural beauty and historical significance that once graced London's streetscape.
