EDITORS COMMENTS

Captured from a drawing by Shepherd in the Crace Collection, this image showcases the construction work on Wigmore Street during that era. The scene is filled with activity as workers diligently go about their tasks on this building site. Scaffolding reaches towards the sky, indicating ongoing progress and development. The street itself is lined with shops, giving us a glimpse of daily life amidst the chaos of construction. Despite being captured over a century ago, this photograph still manages to convey a sense of energy and movement. The medium format adds depth and texture to each element within the frame while preserving its historical charm. A group of people can be seen going about their day in this vibrant snapshot of Victorian England. Their presence reminds us that even amidst rapid urbanization, life continued to thrive on these busy streets.
