Great Fire of London, 1666
Numéro d’image : 12631528
| In the early hours of September 2, 1666 a fire began at a bakehouse in Pudding Lane. Sparks from the bakehouse showered surrounding buildings, igniting stable materials out in a yard at the Star Inn in Fish Street. Soon after the Church of St. Margaret caught alight and fire spread to the buildings in Thames Street and riverside warehouses packed with combustibles. London's medieval streets were narrow and the buildings close, most constructed from timber, wattle and daub, plaster and pitch and filled with the equally flammable essentials of everyday life: straw, tallow and firewood. Strong winds both fed the fire and carried the sparks further and further. The fire gutted the medieval City of London inside the old Roman City Wall. Originally captioned: The city burns down to the Thames. Late 17th century hand colored lithograph depicts a blazing inferno burning London down to the waterfront, where flammable products stored on quays and in wharves | |
