EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back in time to the bustling streets of Chichester, near London, during the late 19th century. The focal point of this image is the magnificent Market Cross kiosk, a true testament to Gothic architecture from the Middle Ages. Standing proudly amidst a vibrant street scene, this tabernacle-like structure commands attention with its intricate details and towering spire. Its Late Gothic design evokes a sense of grandeur and history that echoes throughout Europe's first and second millenniums. The kiosk serves as both a business sign and an urban landmark, offering furnishings for civic spaces while also housing various shops within its walls. Adorned with decorative elements such as arches, lanterns, and buttresses, it exudes an air of elegance that adds charm to the cityscape. Intriguingly captured by an unidentified author around 1870, this photograph captures not only the architectural beauty but also showcases daily life in Chichester at that time. A sculpture bust can be seen on display outside one of the shops while people go about their activities nearby – some stopping to admire goods displayed in windows or watch carts passing by. This print truly encapsulates the essence of Chichester's rich history and cultural heritage. It invites viewers to immerse themselves in a bygone era where craftsmanship reigned supreme and architectural marvels like this Market Cross kiosk stood as symbols of civic pride.
