EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of 134-136 Aldersgate Street in London, back in 1879. The image showcases a bustling city scene, with shop fronts lining the street and residential spaces above. Among the visible establishments are Shakespeares House, E. B. Smith's shop, and a Hair Cutting and Shampooing Saloon. The photograph offers a glimpse into the architectural beauty of Victorian-era London. The intricate facades of these shops and houses exude charm and character, transporting viewers to a bygone era. It is as if one could step into this picture-perfect setting and experience life in Dickensian England firsthand. Aldersgate Street itself serves as an urban landmark within the cityscape, capturing both its atmospheric nature and historical significance. This vibrant street scene was undoubtedly filled with activity during that time period - people going about their daily lives, browsing through newsagents' offerings or seeking hairdressing services. The presence of Shakespeare's House adds another layer of cultural richness to this snapshot from history. William Shakespeare's legacy looms large over British literature, making his former residence an intriguing sight for literary enthusiasts. Overall, this photograph provides us with a window into late 19th-century London life - its architecture, commerce, culture - all frozen in time for us to appreciate today thanks to the English photographer who captured it so beautifully.
