EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Underground works (engraving)" takes us back to 19th century London, offering a fascinating glimpse into the bustling streets and hidden depths of the city. The image showcases an intricate engraving depicting the underground works at the junction of Hampstead Road, Euston Road, and Tottenham Court Road. In this detailed artwork, we are presented with a street-level view teeming with life. People go about their daily routines as horse-drawn carriages traverse the cobbled roads. But what truly captivates is the cutaway section revealing the labyrinthine network of services below ground level. Published in the Illustrated London News on May 28,1864, this engraving provides a rare insight into London's evolving transport infrastructure during that era. It highlights not only how people moved above ground but also delves beneath to showcase sewers and other essential utilities that powered this thriving metropolis. The print transports us back in time, allowing us to marvel at both human ingenuity and artistic skill. It serves as a reminder of how cities like London have continuously adapted over centuries to meet growing demands for transportation and urban development. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can now appreciate this historical gem from their Peter Jackson Collection. This print offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on our past while appreciating how far we've come in shaping our modern cities today.
