EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era in London. Taken from William Nicholson's renowned book "Types of London" published in 1898, this image showcases a Newspaper Crier on the bustling streets of the city. The newspaper crier, an elderly man with a weathered face, stands amidst a crowd of people. He holds up a newspaper high above his head, announcing its contents to passersby. A young boy, presumably his apprentice or assistant, stands beside him attentively observing the trade. The scene is filled with energy and movement as pedestrians go about their daily routines. The architecture and clothing styles reflect the late 19th century period, transporting us back in time to experience life as it was then. Leonard de Selva's expert photography skillfully captures every detail - from the wrinkles on the old man's face to the determination in the child's eyes. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth and drama to this historical moment frozen in time. This evocative print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical document that allows us to glimpse into London's past. It reminds us of how different life was during this era when street vendors played an essential role in disseminating news before technology took over. As we admire this remarkable work of art by William Nicholson through Leonard de Selva's lens, we are transported back to an age where newspapers were king and street cries echoed through crowded city streets.
