EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the latter half of the eighteenth century in London. It showcases a fine shop located in Artillery Row, Houndsditch, a bustling avenue filled with architectural wonders. The image is sourced from "A History of Everyday Things in England" a remarkable book by Marjorie and C. D. B. Quennell that delves into the rise of industrialism between 1733 and 1851. The shop's exterior exudes charm and elegance, reflecting the architectural style prevalent during that era. Its beautifully designed building stands tall amidst other structures on this historic street. The photographer, Charles Henry Bourne Quennell, skillfully captures every detail - from the intricate window frames to the carefully arranged merchandise displayed behind them. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but imagine what life was like for those who frequented this establishment centuries ago. Perhaps it served as a gathering place for locals seeking provisions or an emporium where fashionable goods were sold. This print not only offers us a glimpse into London's past but also serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with history and how everyday things have evolved over time. It reminds us of the rich heritage embedded within our surroundings and invites us to appreciate both the grandeur of architecture and the stories held within these old walls.
