EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "London Viewed Milford Stairs 1643-1644 Etching" takes us on a journey back in time to the bustling city of London during the mid-17th century. The etching, created by Wenceslaus Hollar, a talented Bohemian artist from Prague, offers a rare glimpse into the daily life and architectural beauty of this historic metropolis. The scene unfolds along the north bank of the Thames River, as we peer eastward from Milford Stairs. In the left foreground stands Arundel House, an imposing structure that once graced London's skyline. To its right, a wooden embankment leads down to a landing stage where figures come alive before our eyes. A man and woman leisurely stroll along these stairs while being approached by a ferryman with two passengers aboard his vessel. The sweep of their clothing adds movement and vitality to this snapshot frozen in time. Meanwhile, in the distance towards Southwark Bridge at extreme right, we catch glimpses of other individuals going about their day. As we absorb every detail within this etching's intricate lines and shading techniques, it becomes evident that Hollar possessed an extraordinary talent for capturing both grandeur and intimacy simultaneously. Through his artistry, he transports us effortlessly to another era - one filled with vibrant activity amidst London's iconic riverfront landscape. This remarkable piece from Artokoloro's
