EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from 19th century London, specifically Westminster. The image showcases recruiting sergeants waiting outside a public house, eagerly searching for potential recruits who may be enticed by the "Queens Shilling". This historic moment is beautifully preserved by an English photographer whose work now resides in a private collection. The photograph was featured as an illustration in the book "London in the Nineties" edited by Leonara Collins and published by Saturn Press in 1950. It offers viewers a glimpse into life during the early twentieth century, providing insight into England's recruitment practices at that time. The composition of this image highlights the townhouses and homes surrounding Westminster, giving us a sense of the city's architecture and atmosphere during this period. The monochromatic palette adds to its nostalgic charm, emphasizing contrasts between light and shadow. As we delve into this snapshot of history, it reminds us of London's rich heritage and its role as a hub for recruitment efforts. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this piece of artistry for all to appreciate, allowing us to travel back in time through their fine art finder collection.
