EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, entitled "A View of Clapham, 1790," dates back to 1875, and offers a fascinating glimpse into the past of the London borough of Clapham. The image, held in the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back over two centuries to an era of horse-drawn carriages, quaint cottages, and open green spaces. Clapham, located in the southwest of London, was a popular residential area during the 18th and 19th centuries. This print, produced in the late 19th century, captures the charm and character of the area as it appeared around a century earlier. The image showcases a picturesque scene of Clapham Common, with its sprawling greenery and tranquil ponds, surrounded by a charming village of red-brick cottages and elegant townhouses. The print also reveals the bustling activity of the area, with horse-drawn carriages making their way along the cobblestone streets, and people going about their daily lives. The presence of the Clapham Common Windmill, a prominent landmark in the area, adds to the historical significance of the scene. This print serves as a valuable record of the history and development of Clapham, providing us with a unique perspective on the area's past. It is a testament to the enduring charm of Clapham and its rich history, which continues to draw visitors and residents to this day.
