EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "DORE: LONDON, 1872. The Flower Hawker" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Victorian London. Created by Gustave Dore as part of his series "London: A Pilgrimage" this wood engraving beautifully captures a snapshot of daily life during that era. In the foreground, we see an unidentified man, known as the Flower Hawker or street vendor, diligently going about his work. He stands beside a horsedrawn cart filled with vibrant flowers and plants ready to be sold to passersby. With his mule patiently waiting nearby, he showcases the dedication and resilience of working-class individuals in late 19th-century England. The detailed depiction of the surrounding environment adds depth to this scene. The architecture reflects the distinctive style prevalent in London at that time while providing a glimpse into its rich history. The busy street is filled with other men engaged in various occupations, creating a sense of energy and movement. Gustave Dore's masterful engraving technique brings out every intricate detail on both people and buildings alike. This print not only serves as a visual representation but also offers valuable insights into social dynamics and economic activities during this period. Whether you are an art enthusiast or history lover, this remarkable piece transports you back to Victorian London—a city teeming with life where hardworking individuals like our flower hawker played their part in shaping its vibrant tapestry.
