EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "In London Sewers" takes us on a journey into the depths of 19th-century England. The engraving, created by an anonymous English School artist, offers a glimpse into the hidden world beneath the bustling streets of London. As we peer into this historical underground realm, our eyes are immediately drawn to the presence of rats scurrying amidst waste and water. This image serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by those responsible for maintaining cleanliness in such a vast metropolis. The scene depicted here is said to have been originally published in The Boys Own Annual in 1881, providing young readers with an adventurous insight into the city's sewer system. It captures both curiosity and fascination with its detailed portrayal of refuse collection and dust bins lining these subterranean passageways. Bridgeman Images has skillfully preserved this piece from their private collection, allowing viewers to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance. Through this engraving, we gain a deeper understanding of how waste management played an essential role in shaping urban life during that era. "In London Sewers" invites us to reflect on our own relationship with rubbish and reminds us that even beneath our feet lies a complex network dedicated to keeping our cities clean.
