EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1880 showcases the historic Chiswell Street in Finsbury, London. The focal point of the image is the entrance to the Royal Artillery Company's ground, which stands proudly on Bunhill Row. The entrance gate is adorned with a beautifully crafted wrought iron coat of arms and military sculptures that exude an air of grandeur. Surrounded by charming houses and shop fronts on either side, this snapshot offers a glimpse into daily life in 19th century England. The vibrant colors captured in this watercolor print bring to life the bustling atmosphere of Chiswell Street. The significance of this location cannot be understated as it served as home to the renowned Royal Artillery Regiment. This area was not only a hub for artillery warfare but also housed important institutions such as Guildhall Library and Art Gallery. As we delve into history through this photograph, we are transported back to a time when war and conflict were ever-present themes. However, amidst these reminders of military might, there is also evidence of everyday life unfolding - people going about their business, shopping at local stores along this iconic street. This print serves as both a visual feast for our eyes and an intriguing historical artifact that allows us to appreciate the rich heritage embedded within London's streetscapes.
