EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Henry Dixon showcases the Angel Inn and shops on Farringdon Street, London, circa 1860. The artist beautifully captures the architectural features of this bustling street scene from the 19th century. However, these iconic properties were not immune to change, as they were soon affected by the construction of Holborn Viaduct in the 1860s. The image transports us back in time to a period when horse-drawn carriages traversed through narrow lanes and pedestrians strolled along this historic avenue. The archway of the Angel Inn stands proudly amidst a row of charming buildings, each with its own unique character. It is fascinating to witness how urban development has transformed this location over time. Henry Dixon's monochrome composition evokes a sense of nostalgia for an era long gone. His attention to detail allows us to appreciate the intricate architecture that once adorned Farringdon Street. This print serves as a visual reminder of London's rich history and ever-evolving landscape. Preserved within Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this artwork provides us with a glimpse into England's past while also highlighting the impact that progress can have on our surroundings. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let us reflect on how cities continue to evolve while still cherishing their heritage.
