EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Bagford Collection at the British Museum takes us back in time to the bustling streets of London during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. The title page of this ballad, "The Bellman of London" showcases a familiar figure that would have been a common sight in those days. In this woodcut illustration dating back to 1616, we see a London night-watchman preparing for his rounds. Equipped with a bell, lantern, and pike, he carries out his duty to maintain order and safety throughout the city. His loyal dog faithfully follows him as they navigate through dimly lit streets illuminated only by candlelight. This image offers us an intriguing glimpse into Tudor England's law enforcement system. The bellman symbolizes an era when communication relied heavily on human interaction rather than modern technology. As he walks through the city's labyrinthine alleys and cobblestone roads, his presence brings both reassurance and caution to its inhabitants. The significance of this historical artifact lies not only in its artistic value but also in its representation of everyday life during Stuart Britain. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, communities depended on dedicated individuals like this bellman to uphold law and order within their cities. Thanks to Universal Images Group (UIG), we can now appreciate this remarkable piece of history preserved within the walls of the British Museum.
