EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Johnsons Retreat" takes us back to the 19th century, capturing a moment in the lives of East Enders seeking pleasure and refreshments. The image showcases a vibrant underbelly of London, where working-class individuals found solace in this garden oasis. Alfred Concanen's skillful use of color lithography brings out the lively atmosphere within Johnsons Retreat. It was originally created as an illustration for James Greenwood's book, "The Wilds Of London" published by Chatto and Windus in 1876. In this scene, we witness people from all walks of life indulging in alcohol and enjoying each other's company. The low-life reputation associated with drinking is evident here, but it also reflects a sense of camaraderie among those who frequented such establishments. Located in Hornsey, this retreat provided an escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. With its lush gardens and ample seating areas, it offered respite for weary souls seeking relaxation amidst nature's beauty. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this historical gem that captures not only a specific time period but also the social dynamics at play during that era. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported to a different time when Johnsons Retreat served as both sanctuary and gathering place for those looking to unwind with their favorite beverages.
