EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the bustling streets of late 19th-century London. Taken in 1884 by John Phillipp Emslie, this image captures the intersection of Little Newport Street and Lisle Street with remarkable detail. The architecture of the buildings lining both streets is striking, showcasing a mix of Victorian styles that were prevalent during this era. From ornate facades to intricate detailing, each structure tells its own story. The presence of gas lamps adds an ethereal glow to the scene, casting long shadows on the cobblestone pavement below. As we peer closer into this snapshot frozen in time, we notice people going about their daily lives. Their clothing reflects the fashion trends of the period - men donning top hats and waistcoats while women elegantly navigate through the crowd in long skirts and bonnets. Emslie's masterful use of watercolor on paper brings out every architectural nuance and street character in vivid clarity. This painting evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era when horse-drawn carriages traversed these very streets. Preserved within a private collection, this artwork serves as a window into London's rich history. It allows us to glimpse into everyday life over a century ago – reminding us that even amidst progress and change, certain corners will always retain their timeless charm.
