EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1818, capturing the essence of a bygone era in St Giles, London. The image showcases "The Old Hare and Hounds" a once-infamous establishment located on Buckridge Street. Formerly known as Beggar in the Bush, this notorious house of entertainment was long taken down to make way for New Oxford Street. The drawing, believed to be annotated by artist George Scharf, offers a glimpse into the vibrant atmosphere that surrounded this historic tavern. It was renowned not only for its physical location but also for its charismatic proprietor, Joe Banks, who skillfully managed the establishment for many years. Within these walls unfolded tales of slum life and poverty in Georgian London. The Hare and Hounds stood as an emblematic representation of the rookeries - overcrowded dwellings that housed the city's underprivileged population. Its presence became intertwined with Charles Dickens' literary world and his vivid descriptions of Victorian society's struggles. This image serves as a poignant reminder of urban social conditions during this time period - deprivation juxtaposed against bustling street scenes filled with people going about their daily lives. The inclusion of elements such as water pumps and sanitation highlights both the challenges faced by those living in these areas and efforts made towards improving social housing. Through this photograph, we are transported back to an era where history comes alive before our eyes – inviting contemplation on how far we have come while acknowledging the importance of documenting our past for future generations
