EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming print captures the essence of London street life in the late 19th century. The scene is bustling with various characters, each with their own unique role and story to tell. From a groom tending to his horse, to a dustman going about his daily duties, and a bootblack diligently shining shoes for passersby - this snapshot offers a glimpse into the diverse occupations that filled the city's streets. Amidst this lively backdrop, we see a nursemaid stealing glances at passing soldiers, perhaps daydreaming of romance or adventure. Standing tall among them all is a Beefeater, proudly representing British tradition and history. However, it is the young boy turning somersaults for pennies who truly steals the show. His playful spirit and determination shine through as he entertains onlookers while trying to earn some pocket money. This heartwarming image reminds us of simpler times when children found joy in simple pleasures. Illustrated by Horace William Petherick for a children's book published in London around 1875, this chromolithograph perfectly encapsulates an era long gone but not forgotten. It serves as both an educational tool and nostalgic memento of England's past for those who appreciate historical artistry.
