EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Sketches at the West End of London, 19 January" takes us back to a wintry morning in the heart of the city. Created by an anonymous English School artist from the 19th century, this print offers a glimpse into the bustling streets and lively atmosphere of London during that era. The scene is set on a Wednesday morning, as snowflakes gently fall from above. The rooftops are covered in a pristine white blanket, creating a picturesque backdrop for the unfolding events below. In Hyde Park, people gather for what seems to be the start of an exciting season fair. A cab and a brave snow plough make their way through the snowy roads while police officers diligently patrol their beat. One particular sketch catches our attention - it depicts an intense moment where someone appears to be assaulting a hansom cab driver. This dramatic incident adds intrigue and suspense to an otherwise serene winter landscape. Through these sketches, we get transported back in time to witness everyday life in London during this period. It serves as both historical documentation and artistic expression, capturing not only scenes but also emotions that were prevalent at that time. This remarkable piece is part of Bridgeman Images' collection and was originally published as an illustration for The Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News on February 5th, 1881. Its inclusion in Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection ensures its preservation for future generations to appreciate its beauty and significance within British art history.
