EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "South east view of the entrances to Little Sanctuary and to Thieving Lane from King Street" offers a glimpse into the bustling streets of 19th century London. The print, created by an anonymous English School artist in 1807, showcases a moment frozen in time. In this scene, we are transported to the heart of Westminster as we stand on King Street. Our eyes are drawn towards two distinct entrances - one leading to Little Sanctuary and another to Thieving Lane. The composition skillfully captures the architectural details of these passageways, inviting us to imagine what lies beyond their thresholds. The atmosphere is palpable; there is a sense of movement and activity within these historic streets. Pedestrians hurry along their way while horse-drawn carriages navigate through the cobblestone roads. It's as if we can almost hear the distant sounds of chatter and hooves echoing through time. Through this evocative image, we catch a glimpse into everyday life in London during this era – its charm, its energy, and even its darker corners like Thieving Lane. This engraving serves as both a historical document and a work of art that transports us back centuries ago. Displayed with pride in private collections around the world today, this print continues to captivate viewers with its rich depiction of an enchanting chapter in London's past.
