EDITORS COMMENTS
New Cross turnpike on the Old Kent Road, Deptford, London, 1783. Artist: Robert Laurie In this black and white aquatint print by Robert Laurie, we are transported back to the bustling streets of 18th century London. The scene captures the New Cross turnpike on the Old Kent Road in Deptford, a vital transportation hub connecting rural life with urban development. A cart passes through the turnpike gate while men go about their daily activities along this historic avenue. On either side of the road stand charming inns adorned with rustic inn signs, offering respite and refreshment to weary travelers. Laurie's attention to detail brings this snapshot of history to life; every building and lane is meticulously depicted. The monochrome palette adds a sense of timelessness to the image, allowing us to immerse ourselves in an era long gone. Located near Southwark and Lewisham, this vibrant street was not only a crucial transport route but also a reflection of society at that time. It serves as a reminder of how much our world has changed while simultaneously celebrating our shared heritage. Preserved within the Guildhall Library and Art Gallery collection, J Dillon's masterful aquatint invites us into an enchanting journey through time - where carts trundle past toll gates amidst lively streets filled with people going about their daily lives.
