EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "A City Thoroughfare, London, 1872" takes us back to the bustling streets of Victorian England. The scene is one of chaotic traffic congestion as horse-drawn vehicles jostle for space on a crowded road. Amidst this frenzy, a diligent London policeman can be seen valiantly attempting to restore order and keep the vehicles moving. The image captures the essence of a bygone era when transportation relied heavily on animal power. Horses play a central role in this snapshot of history, symbolizing both progress and limitations in road travel during that time. The print evokes a sense of location with its depiction of an unmistakably English cityscape. It transports us to the heart of London's busy streets, where occupation and daily life intersected amidst the constant movement. As we gaze upon this monochrome wood engraving from 19th century Britain, we cannot help but feel immersed in its atmosphere of chaos and gridlock. It serves as a reminder that even then, rush hour was an unavoidable part of urban existence. This remarkable piece comes from "London: A Pilgrimage" by Gustave Doré and Blanchard Jerrold - two renowned figures who documented their journey through the city with vivid illustrations like this one. With every detail meticulously captured by Doré's skilled hand, it offers us an invaluable glimpse into London's past while showcasing his undeniable talent as an artist.
