A View of St. Mary le Bow in Cheapside (c. 1750)

This print, engraved by T. Loveday, is very similar to the famous print by Thomas Bowles. It shows Cheapside, a fashionable street in the 18th century, with its rows of tradesmen’s signs. Apart from carriages and horses, a wagon can be seen on the right making a delivery.
