EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the bustling streets of Covent Garden, Westminster, London in 1777. This print by artist Edward Rooker transports us to a vibrant era of British history. The scene captures the essence of daily life with its diverse cast of characters and activities. In this snapshot, we witness a lively street market filled with various street sellers showcasing their wares. Among them is a shoe shiner diligently polishing footwear for passersby, adding an air of sophistication to the scene. Shoppers can be seen browsing through the stalls, captivated by the array of goods on offer. At the heart of it all stands a sedan carrier taking a well-deserved rest from his duties. His presence adds an element of grandeur amidst the hustle and bustle. To his left, a young boy joyfully bowls a hoop down the cobblestone street, bringing an innocent charm to this historic moment frozen in time. Edward Rooker's meticulous engraving skillfully captures every detail - from the intricate architecture that lines Covent Garden's piazza to its iconic colonnade. The color palette chosen brings warmth and vibrancy to this snapshot from 18th century England. This remarkable piece is housed at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, offering visitors an opportunity to step into history and experience Covent Garden as it once was.
