Architectural antique prints and engravings
Lot 151170: John Stow - London Bridge in 1754 by John Strype
Original antique 18th century engraving. Published in the 1755 edition of John Stow’s survey of London by John Strype.
John Stow’s Elizabethan classic, A Survey of London, was first published in 1598, with a second edition following in 1603. Stow was a chronicler and antiquary who transcribed manuscripts and inscriptions relating to English history, literature and archaeology, but his Survey is perhaps his most famous work, with its evocative perambulation of the streets of the Tudor capital, which forms the main framework of the book.
