EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of London on a cold winter day in 1837. The scene unfolds at Bow Street, where policemen are assembling for duty. The image, originally an engraving from the Penny Magazine, captures the essence of this historical moment with remarkable detail. In this snapshot of history, we witness a city in motion. A horse-drawn coach stands prominently in the foreground, symbolizing the mode of transport during that era. Lampposts line the street, casting their warm glow upon a crowd that has gathered to observe this intriguing procession. The focus is undoubtedly on these "Peelers" as they were known - members of London's police force named after Sir Robert Peel who established it just nine years prior. Clad in their distinctive uniforms, they stand tall and proud amidst their fellow citizens. This print transports us back to a time when law enforcement was evolving and taking shape within society. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come since those early days while also honoring our shared heritage. As we gaze upon this archival piece, we can't help but be captivated by its timeless beauty and historical significance. It is truly an exquisite addition to any art collection or display dedicated to celebrating England's rich culture and past events.
