EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1803, offering a glimpse into the bustling streets of Snow Hill undergoing significant improvements. The drawing, skillfully created by William Capon, showcases an intriguing street scene filled with historical significance. As we delve into the image, our eyes are immediately drawn towards Skinner Street leading up to Newgate Street. On the left side stands St Sepulchre-without-Newgate and Old Saracens Head Inn, both architectural marvels of their time. Beyond them looms the imposing Giltspur Street Compter - a prison designed by George Dance the Younger that housed debtors under the watchful eye of sheriffs from 1791 until its closure in 1854. The atmosphere captured in this artwork is undeniably Dickensian; it transports us to an era where punishment and imprisonment were stark realities for those unable to repay their debts. Yet amidst this somber backdrop, life continues as usual on Snow Hill. Georgian shoppers go about their daily routines while construction work unfolds around them. This print not only offers a visual feast for history enthusiasts but also serves as a reminder of how far society has come since those days. It encapsulates both architectural beauty and social dynamics within one frame – a testament to Capon's artistic prowess and his ability to capture moments frozen in time.
