Slippers, Somerset House, London, 1805 - A Glimpse into the Bustling Streets of 19th Century Britain
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the vibrant streets of London in 1805. Captured by Sir Richard Phillips and featured in his book "Modern London; Being the History and Present State of the British Metropolis" this copper plate engraving showcases a lively scene filled with itinerant traders. In the midst of this bustling street, we see a male street vendor passionately selling his wares. Dressed in colorful clothes and donning a turban-like headdress, he stands out among the crowd. With slippers neatly arranged on display before him, he shouts and calls out to potential customers passing by. The image not only provides insight into daily life during that era but also highlights an important aspect of commerce - trade on the streets. The cries of London echo through time as we witness this dedicated seller promoting his merchandise. Somerset House serves as an impressive backdrop for this snapshot from history. Its grandeur contrasts with the humble occupation depicted here, reminding us that every corner of society played a role in shaping London's identity. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back to a different century - one where street vendors like him were an integral part of city life. This evocative image is a testament to both our shared heritage and how much has changed over time.
