EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Mare Street in Hackney, London, circa 1860. The scene is alive with horse-drawn vehicles and pedestrians going about their daily activities. On the right side of the street stands the iconic Kings Head public house, proudly advertising Truman, Hanbury and Buxton beers - a testament to their enduring legacy as these brews are still enjoyed today. In the distance, we catch a glimpse of the majestic tower of St John-at-Hackney, adding an air of spirituality to this vibrant cityscape. This engraving by Charles Turner provides us with a fascinating snapshot into 19th-century life in Hackney. The monochrome aesthetic lends an air of nostalgia to this image, transporting us back in time when road transport was dominated by horses rather than automobiles. The various shops lining Mare Street showcase the commercial hub that it once was, offering glimpses into everyday shopping experiences during this era. As we admire this photograph from Guildhall Library and Art Gallery's collection, let us appreciate not only its historical significance but also its ability to evoke curiosity about our past. It serves as a reminder that even amidst modernity's rapid progressions, remnants of our heritage continue to shape our present-day world.
