At a Knocking Out
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating colour lithograph that transports us to the bustling streets of 19th-century London's East End. This intriguing print, created by Alfred Concanen, captures the essence of a vibrant and diverse community. In this scene, we find ourselves in a lively tavern filled with people from different walks of life. The room is warmed by the crackling fire as patrons engage in animated conversations over pints of beer. It becomes evident that this establishment serves as more than just a place for refreshment; it acts as an epicenter for social interactions and financial transactions. The artist skillfully portrays various stereotypes prevalent during that era, particularly focusing on Jewish characters who were often associated with money lending and auctions. However, Concanen goes beyond these surface-level depictions to reveal the complexity and diversity within this community. Through his meticulous attention to detail, he exposes hints of corruption lurking in the shadows - backroom dealings and fraudulent activities taking place under unsuspecting noses. Yet amidst all this intrigue, there is also camaraderie among working-class East Enders who gather here after long days of labor. "At a Knocking Out" offers us an evocative glimpse into the low-life culture that thrived in London's East End during the 19th century. It reminds us that behind every stereotype lies real people with their own stories waiting to be discovered.
