EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century London. The image captures a scene at St Georges Circus in Southwark, where a toll gate and an impressive obelisk stand tall amidst the flow of people and carriages. The architecture of this era is beautifully showcased, with intricate buildings lining both sides of London Road. The monochrome palette adds a timeless quality to the print, allowing us to appreciate the details etched into each structure. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are transported to a bygone era when horse-drawn carriages ruled the roads and pedestrians strolled along lanes filled with life. The presence of people going about their daily routines adds depth and humanity to the scene, reminding us that even centuries ago, cities were vibrant hubs of activity. This lithograph serves as a window into British heritage and showcases England's rich architectural history. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, it stands as a testament to our country's past while also offering inspiration for future generations.
