EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of London in 1803. The left image showcases a stunning "Lady in the Dress of 1803" her elegant attire capturing the fashion trends of that era. Her headdress adorned with feathers adds a touch of sophistication to her ensemble, while her poise and grace exude an air of confidence. On the right side, we are treated to a view of Skinner Street and the improvements on Snow Hill. This monochrome depiction reveals a cityscape filled with historic buildings that still stand tall today. The intricate engravings showcase the architectural beauty prevalent during this time period. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, our imaginations transport us to an avenue teeming with life. People traverse the road, going about their daily routines amidst these remarkable surroundings. It is as if we can hear the echoes of footsteps and conversations blending harmoniously with horse-drawn carriages passing by. Preserved within this photograph lies not only a visual record but also a glimpse into society's past - where women donned exquisite dresses and London's streets were alive with activity. Thanks to Guildhall Library and Art Gallery for safeguarding this piece of heritage for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
