EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of 19th century London. From an old engraving, we are transported to Fleet Street, a historic thoroughfare renowned for its vibrant atmosphere and rich history. The image captures a peculiar scene known as "Roasting the Rumps" a tradition that seems to have faded into obscurity over the years. The street is filled with curious onlookers, their faces reflecting both amusement and intrigue as they witness this unusual spectacle. Intriguingly, this engraving was originally featured in Walter Thornbury's book "Old and New London" which aimed to document the city's transformation through numerous authentic engravings. This particular illustration offers us a rare glimpse into an aspect of daily life that has long been forgotten. The digitally cleaned image allows us to appreciate the intricate details of this historical moment. It serves as a reminder of how much our society has evolved since then, yet also highlights the enduring fascination with capturing snippets of everyday life through art. As we delve deeper into this fascinating piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, it becomes evident that it holds immense value not only for historians but also for those who appreciate England's rich cultural heritage.
