EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Ludgate Circus in 1891, a snapshot frozen in time by artist William Luker. The image is sourced from the book "London City: Its History - Streets - Traffic - Buildings - People" written by W. J. Loftie and published by The Leadenhall Press in London. In this vibrant scene, we witness the vibrant city life of late 19th century London. Horses draw carts through the busy avenue while pedestrians navigate their way across the street. Men and women donning elegant attire can be seen going about their daily occupations, with top hats adorning many heads. The presence of animals adds an extra layer of charm to this historic photograph. A dray horse pulls a delivery cart, highlighting the importance of road transport during that era. Meanwhile, a newspaper seller captures our attention as she expertly balances her stack of papers on her arm. Ludgate Circus itself serves as a focal point in this composition—a hub where people converge and diverge on their various journeys throughout the city. This image not only provides us with a glimpse into Victorian England but also invites us to contemplate how much cities have evolved over time. As we admire Luker's artistry captured within this monochrome portrait, it becomes evident why such historical prints hold immense value for those seeking to understand our past and appreciate how far society has come since then.
