EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut engraving, titled 'The Enraged Ox, the Dustman and the Taking of Guy Fawkes,' offers a vivid glimpse into the bustling streets of 17th-century London as depicted in Ann and Jane Taylor's 'City Scenes, or a Peep into London.' The image is a composite of three distinct scenes, each capturing the essence of daily life in the English capital. In the foreground, an angry ox is shown charging towards a frightened boy near Smithfield Market (36). The market, known for its livestock trading, is depicted in all its chaos, with stalls, drovers, and sheep filling the frame. The dustman (37), in the middle ground, is shown patiently removing rubbish with his horse-drawn cart, while in the background, the capture of the infamous Gunpowder Plot leader, Guy Fawkes (38), is taking place in a cellar under Parliament. Famed for their Romantic poetry and children's books, Ann and Jane Taylor's 'City Scenes' provided an educational and entertaining look into the history, trades, and geography of London. This woodcut engraving, produced by Isaac Taylor, offers a unique perspective of the city's diverse population, from the working classes to the nobility, and the various trades and industries that thrived within its walls. The engraving also highlights the significance of key historical events, such as the Gunpowder Plot, and the importance of traditions like Guy Fawkes Night, which continues to be celebrated in England on November 5th. Overall, this image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the rich history and culture of 17th-century London.
