EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant colored engraving captures the bustling scene of Piccadilly looking towards the City in London. The image is filled with a sense of excitement and activity, as carriages make their way through the crowded streets, while workers construct buildings in the background. In the sky above, a balloon floats gracefully, adding to the spectacle of this lively cityscape. The print showcases a moment in time when old Bond Street was still under construction, highlighting both progress and change. The aerial perspective provides a unique view of London's architecture and layout during this era. Amidst all this commotion, an airplane can be seen soaring through the air – a symbol of aviation's growing influence on transportation. This early aircraft adds another layer to this dynamic composition, representing technological advancements that were revolutionizing travel at that time. Thomas Shotter Boys' skillful engraving brings together various modes of transport - from carriages to balloons to airplanes - capturing an important period in history when traditional means were giving way to new possibilities. Overall, this print offers viewers a glimpse into 19th-century London life with its mix of old-world charm and emerging modernity. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our constant quest for progress in transportation and urban development.
