EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the vibrant and bustling streets of London in the late 19th century. Illustrated by the talented Horace William Petherick, these enchanting scenes come to life through his remarkable chromolithograph technique. Published around 1875, this image is a delightful glimpse into a bygone era. In this lively composition, we are transported to a world filled with intriguing characters and their trades. A messenger rushes through the crowd, delivering important messages amidst the chaos of street life. An old clothes man stands proudly displaying his wares, offering a glimpse into fashion trends of the time. An organ grinder captivates passersby with melodious tunes emanating from his instrument while nearby, a vegetable seller entices customers with an array of fresh produce. A skilled juggler entertains onlookers with impressive tricks that defy gravity and logic. Adding to the charm of this scene is a billposter adorning walls with colorful advertisements, injecting even more vibrancy into an already bustling atmosphere. These illustrations were originally created for children's books published in London during this period. They serve as both educational tools and sources of entertainment for young readers eager to explore different facets of city life. Thanks to Universal Images Group (UIG), we can now appreciate these historical snapshots that transport us back in time to experience firsthand what it was like walking along those lively streets in England's capital city over 150 years ago.
