EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Petticoat Lane in 1878, as captured by the talented artist Walter Thornbury. The image showcases a vibrant scene filled with activity, where women clad in their petticoats and men go about their daily business. Children can be seen running around, adding an element of youthful energy to the crowded street. Petticoat Lane is known for its lively market atmosphere, and this engraving beautifully captures that essence. The architecture of the buildings lining the lane adds character to the scene, with balconies overlooking the busy street below. It's fascinating to see how trade was conducted during this era - people engaging in conversations while making choices from various stalls. The print collector has done a remarkable job preserving this historical moment, allowing us to appreciate London's rich heritage. This image serves as a reminder of how much our cities have evolved over time while also highlighting timeless aspects such as human interaction and commerce. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an era when Petticoat Lane was at its peak - a place where people from all walks of life came together amidst architectural beauty and vibrant market culture.
