EDITORS COMMENTS
Aldersgate Street, City of London, 1879. This print by artist Henry Dixon takes us back to the bustling streets of Victorian England. The image showcases a vibrant scene filled with historic buildings, shops, and the daily activities of city life. In this snapshot from the past, we are transported to Aldersgate Street where houses and shop fronts line the avenue. Among them stands prominently the Marco Pollin cafe and restaurant, exuding an air of elegance and sophistication. Adjacent to it is CW Butler's tobacconist store, offering a glimpse into one of society's popular indulgences at that time. The monochrome composition beautifully captures the architectural details of each building along this busy road. From quaint houses to grand establishments like Guildhall Library and Art Gallery in the distance, there is a sense of history etched into every brick. A horse-drawn cart adds movement to this otherwise static scene as it traverses down Aldersgate Street – a reminder of how transportation once relied on these noble creatures for mobility. Henry Dixon's artistry allows us to step back in time and immerse ourselves in 19th-century Britain. This print serves as both a visual record and an invitation to explore the rich heritage embedded within our cities' streets.
