EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled ""Whist! The Bogie Man!" From Mr Mendozas Black and White Exhibition, King Street, St Jamess" takes us back to the 19th century. The image showcases a scene filled with humor and intrigue. In the bustling streets of King Street, St James's, we witness a delightful mix of characters and activities. At first glance, our attention is drawn to a group of dogs playfully chasing each other near a chimney. Their energy contrasts with the calmness of nearby birdcages housing beautiful feathered creatures. Sweeps go about their work in the background while puppies frolic around them. But what really captures our imagination is the mysterious figure known as "The Bogie Man". Dressed in dark attire with an enigmatic expression on his face, he seems to be whispering secrets or perhaps warning someone nearby. His presence adds an air of suspense to this otherwise lighthearted scene. Created by an unknown English artist from the 19th century, this engraving was featured in The Illustrated London News on December 12th, 1891. It offers us a glimpse into daily life during that era while also leaving room for interpretation and speculation. Displayed as part of Mr Mendoza's Black and White Exhibition, this print invites viewers to appreciate both its artistic qualities and its ability to evoke curiosity through its whimsical subject matter.
