The picture, created in 1721 by the renowned English engraver and printmaker, William Hogarth, is based on a drawing by Thomas Bowles. The image showcases the Elephant and Castle Inn, located on the left side of the intersection, which served as a popular stopping point for travelers and merchants. The scene is filled with a vibrant mix of activity. Cattle are being herded through the streets, their bells jingling as they make their way to market. Horses, mules, and horse-drawn carriages pass by, their hooves clattering against the cobblestones.
