EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Mansion House and Cheapside, from London As It Is" takes us back to the bustling streets of Victorian-era London. The artist, Thomas Shotter Boys, skillfully engraved and published this masterpiece in 1842. Measuring at 31.8x42.6 cm, it now resides in a private collection. The image transports us to Lombard Street, where we witness a vibrant scene filled with architectural marvels and lively activity. A prominent street lamp illuminates the crossing as a diligent crossing sweeper ensures cleanliness amidst the hustle and bustle. Our eyes are drawn towards the majestic church spire towering above Mary Le Bow, adding an air of grandeur to the cityscape. The carefully placed street lighting casts an enchanting glow on the surrounding buildings, creating a magical atmosphere. In this snapshot of history, we catch glimpses of various modes of transportation that were prevalent during that time - from horse-drawn carriages known as drey to buses and omnibuses navigating through traffic. The presence of a reverbere (a type of street light) further emphasizes the importance given to proper illumination for both safety and aesthetics in this era. As we delve into this mesmerizing artwork by Boys captured through lithography techniques, we can't help but appreciate its historical significance and artistic brilliance.
