EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the bustling streets of 18th century London. The image showcases a Bookseller at Moorfields, his bookstall nestled under the shade of a majestic tree. Created by artist Sutton Nicholls, this engraving offers a glimpse into the vibrant literary scene that once thrived in this very spot. The Bookseller stands proudly amidst stacks of books, dressed in attire typical of the era. His occupation is evident as he engages with potential customers who peruse his collection. This snapshot captures not only a trade but also an important aspect of society - literature and knowledge being made accessible to all. Moorfields, now known as Blomfield Street, was once home to various markets and stalls like this one. It served as a hub for commerce and cultural exchange within the City of London. The surrounding nature adds an enchanting touch to the scene, reminding us that even amidst urban chaos, pockets of tranquility can be found. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this monochrome masterpiece allows us to appreciate both the artistic skill involved in its creation and its historical significance. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded of how much has changed over time while recognizing that certain professions endure through centuries. Let this image transport you back in time as you imagine yourself strolling along Moorfields Avenue during the 18th century – surrounded by booksellers hawking their wares beneath leafy trees on bustling market days
