EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures a bustling scene at the Tattersalls horse sale yard in Hyde Park Corner, Westminster, London around 1845. The image showcases a slice of 19th-century British life, with men dressed in their finest coats and top hats engaged in animated conversations as they negotiate the buying and selling of horses. The now-demolished buildings that once stood on this site were witness to countless transactions and lively interactions between buyers and sellers. This snapshot transports us back to a time when horse trading was an essential part of city life. In the background, we catch a glimpse of Hyde Park's serene beauty, providing a stark contrast to the vibrant activity taking place within its vicinity. The location itself adds historical significance to this print, as it later became home to St George's Hospital after the demolition of these structures in 1865. The anonymity of both the artist behind this lithograph and those depicted only adds to its intrigue. It serves as a reminder that while individuals may come and go throughout history, certain aspects of society remain constant - such as trade, conversation, fashion choices, and our connection with animals. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery for future generations to appreciate, this remarkable piece offers us an intimate window into Victorian England's urban landscape where commerce met nature amidst London's ever-evolving cityscape.
