EDITORS COMMENTS
Tyburn Turnpike, London, 1812: A Glimpse into the Bustling Streets of Old England". This print by William Pickett takes us back to the vibrant streets of early 19th-century London. The Tyburn turnpike, once located at the junction of Bayswater Road and Oxford Street, comes alive in this vivid aquatint. As we delve into this snapshot from history, our eyes are drawn to a bustling scene filled with horse-drawn vehicles and people going about their daily lives. The charm of this era is beautifully captured through Pickett's skilled use of color and detail. In the foreground, a gentleman stands proudly next to his horse and cart while others pass by on foot or in wagons along the tree-lined avenue. The architectural beauty of British buildings frames the scene as nature intertwines with urban life. The image transports us to a time when road transport was dominated by these majestic horses that powered every journey. It offers a glimpse into an age where men relied on their equine companions for transportation across country lanes and city streets. Preserved within the archives of Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this remarkable artwork invites us to reflect upon our rich heritage. It serves as a reminder that even amidst progress and change, there will always be moments worth cherishing from our past - like Tyburn turnpike in its heyday during 1812 London.
