EDITORS COMMENTS
If it wasn't for the houses in between" is a vibrant and humorous colour lithograph that captures the essence of 19th-century London's East End. This delightful print, created by an anonymous English School artist, takes us on a journey through time to explore the pleasures and challenges brought about by industrialization. The image depicts a bustling scene with gasworks, smoke-filled air, and dirt-covered streets. Amidst this urban chaos, we see a man standing on a ladder peering through his glasses towards Hackney Marshes. The accompanying sheet music hints at the song's title: "If it wasn't for the houses in between". This playful artwork reflects the resilience and wit of Cockney culture during an era marked by rapid urban development. It reminds us that even amidst the noise and grime of progress, there were still moments of joy to be found. The presence of Edgar Bateman and Gus Elen suggests that this print may have been inspired by their popular music hall song from that time period. Through its clever composition and vivid colors, this piece invites viewers to appreciate both the challenges faced by city dwellers as well as their ability to find humor in everyday life. As we gaze upon this image from Fine Art Finder's Peter Jackson Collection, we are transported back in time to experience London's rich history while celebrating its unique character – one where pleasure can be found even if it means looking past "the ouses in between.
