EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "November, Sees-unable weather, ie London smog" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the atmospheric conditions that plagued London during that time. Created by renowned artist George Cruikshank, this engraving captures the essence of London's notorious smog-filled November days. The image showcases a bustling city street enveloped in an impenetrable blanket of thick fog. The humorous depiction adds an amusing touch to this historical scene as people struggle to navigate through the dense haze. This artwork was originally featured in The Comic Almanack, a publication known for its entertaining illustrations. London's infamous pea-soupers were caused by heavy pollution from coal and dust, resulting in hazardous conditions and frequent accidents. This artwork serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by Londoners during this era. As we admire this piece, it is fascinating to reflect on how far we have come in terms of air quality and environmental awareness. It also reminds us of the importance of preserving our planet for future generations. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate both the artistic talent of George Cruikshank and gain insight into an important chapter in history when London was shrouded in smoggy mystery every November.
