EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of 18th century London. The Map of the parishes of St Mary, Whitechapel and St John, Wapping, in Stepney, London, 1755 showcases the intricate cartography skills of an anonymous artist from that era. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported to a time when Britain was at its zenith as a global power. Towering over the map is the majestic River Thames, which served as a lifeline for trade and transportation during those times. The map provides us with valuable insights into the geographical features of East End London.

With every stroke engraved on this print, it becomes evident that meticulous attention was paid to detail by its creator.
