EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "A Map of The Kings Road, London, 1746" takes us on a journey back in time to the bustling streets of 18th-century London. Created by the talented artist John Rocque, this intricate map showcases the iconic Kings Road and its surrounding areas. As we gaze upon this aerial view, we are transported to an era when Chelsea and Pimlico were still vast fields and farmland. The Five Fields stretch out before us, reminding us of a time when these lands were not yet transformed into the vibrant cityscape we know today. The outskirts of London come alive in this print as we explore the suburbs that once surrounded the city. We catch glimpses of charming farms scattered across the land, serving as a reminder of how much has changed over centuries. One notable landmark depicted on this map is The Duke's Hospital standing proudly amidst its surroundings. This architectural gem adds depth to our understanding of life during that period and highlights how important institutions shaped the landscape. With every detail meticulously engraved onto paper, Rocque invites us to immerse ourselves in history and discover an earlier version of one of London's most famous roads. This remarkable piece serves as both a historical document and a work of art capturing an era long gone but forever preserved within its lines.
