EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Policeman or Peeler of 1837, Policeman nowadays, Lamplighter, Chimney Sweep" takes us on a journey through time, showcasing the stark contrast between different professions and eras. In the foreground stands a Victorian-era policeman or "peeler" from 1837, dressed in his traditional uniform with an air of authority. His presence evokes memories of a bygone era when law enforcement was vastly different from what we know today. As we shift our gaze to the background, we are confronted with the image of a modern-day policeman. Clad in contemporary attire and equipped with advanced technology, this officer represents the evolution and progress that has occurred over time. The central figures are flanked by two other significant characters: a lamplighter and a chimney sweep. These individuals symbolize not only their respective trades but also serve as reminders of societal changes brought about by industrialization. Through this thought-provoking composition, artist J. R. Sinclair invites us to reflect upon the passage of time and how it shapes our world. The contrast between past and present highlights both continuity and change within society's structures. Ultimately, this artwork serves as an educational tool for children - bridging historical gaps while encouraging them to contemplate their own place within these narratives. It is an exquisite piece that captures both nostalgia for days gone by and hope for future generations in its depiction of policemen then and now alongside other iconic figures from Victorian times such as lamplight
