EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Grub Street in 18th century London, a place described by Dr. Johnson as being inhabited by writers of small histories, dictionaries, and temporary poems. The bustling street near Moorfields was a hub for literary activity during this time period, with writers flocking to the area to pen their works.
Named Milton Street in 1830, this historical location played a significant role in the development of journalism and literature in England. It was here that countless hack writers churned out stories, poems, and dictionaries for eager readers hungry for knowledge and entertainment.
The image transports us back to a bygone era when Grub Street was teeming with creativity and intellectual fervor. The cobblestone streets lined with quaint buildings evoke a sense of nostalgia for a time when writing was truly an art form practiced by dedicated individuals striving to make their mark on the world.
As we gaze upon this snapshot of history captured by Mary Evans Picture Library, we are reminded of the rich literary heritage that has shaped our understanding of the past. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring legacy left behind by those who once walked these hallowed streets in pursuit of their craft.
