EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this woodcut print from 1616, depicting The Bellman of London on his nightly rounds. The title page of a ballad in the Bagford Collection at the British Museum brings to life the image of a London night-watchman carrying a bell, lantern, and pike, accompanied by his loyal dog. This figure would have been a familiar sight in the bustling streets of late 16th and early 17th century cities.
The intricate details captured in this woodcut showcase the essence of an era long gone but not forgotten. From the flickering light of the lantern to the sturdy walking stick at his side, every element tells a story of duty and order in a time when law enforcement was carried out by dedicated individuals like The Bellman.
As you gaze upon this historical artwork, you can almost hear the echo of the bell ringing through cobblestone streets and feel the presence of centuries-old traditions coming to life before your eyes. Let yourself be transported to a different time and place as you explore this fascinating piece from British history.
