EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Mary Evans takes us back to the bustling streets of London in 1895, where snow gently falls on Threadneedle Street and the iconic Bank of England stands tall in the background. The scene is alive with activity as horse-drawn carts make their way through the snowy streets, while pedestrians bundled up against the cold walk briskly past gas-lit street lamps.
In this snapshot of Victorian London, a police officer can be seen diligently controlling traffic at the corner of Mansion House, ensuring that both people and carts move safely through the city. The architecture of the era is on full display, with grand buildings lining the street and barrels stacked outside shops.
The image captures a moment in time when London was at its financial peak, with banking institutions like the Bank of England playing a central role in shaping the city's economy. As we gaze upon this historic photograph, we are transported back to a time when transport relied on horsepower and gas lighting illuminated our path through snowy streets.
Mary Evans has expertly captured not just a scene from 1895 London, but also a glimpse into an era defined by progress and prosperity. This print serves as a reminder of how far we have come since those days while also celebrating the timeless beauty of one of Europe's most vibrant cities.
