Barnes Common - Calling the Carriages, 1872
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us back to 19th century London. In this bustling scene captured by Gustave Doré, men and boys are seen working together to assist drivers as they exit Barnes Common after the Oxford and Cambridge boat race. The image beautifully encapsulates the spirit of assistance and camaraderie in a rapidly growing city. The confusion and noise of the day are palpable as people go about their tasks with great effort. The panoramic photography allows us to take in the entire scene, revealing a slice of life from this historic moment. Doré's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this engraving. From the hansom cabs waiting patiently for their passengers to the letterbox format capturing every element, it feels like we are stepping into a page from "London: A Pilgrimage" written by Blanchard Jerrold. This print not only showcases Doré's exceptional artistic talent but also serves as a testament to British culture at that time. It reminds us of how communities came together during important events such as boat races, creating an atmosphere where everyone played their part. As we admire this remarkable piece, let us appreciate both its aesthetic beauty and historical significance – an enduring tribute to London's past and its vibrant city life.
