EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Cheapside in London, circa 1750. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the magnificent church of St Mary-le-Bow, standing proudly on the right side. Its towering spire reaches towards the sky, a testament to both architectural grandeur and spiritual significance. The scene depicted here is one of vibrant activity. A medium-sized group of people can be seen going about their daily lives - men and women alike, each with their own purpose or destination in mind. The street is alive with movement as a horse-drawn cart makes its way through the crowd, adding an element of dynamism to this snapshot from history. What strikes me most about this photograph is how it captures a moment frozen in time - an era long gone but forever preserved within these frames. It offers us a glimpse into London's past, where commerce thrived amidst stunning architecture and everyday life unfolded against this backdrop. As I gaze at this remarkable piece from Hulton Archive's collection, I am reminded that art has the power to transport us across centuries and connect us with our shared human experiences. It serves as a visual reminder that even though times change and cities evolve, there are certain elements that remain constant - like community gathering around places of worship or individuals navigating busy city streets. With its historical charm and timeless appeal, this print would make for an exquisite addition to any art lover's collection – offering not just aesthetic pleasure but also sparking
