EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph by Nathaniel Whittock takes us back to the bustling streets of Aldersgate in the City of London, circa 1830. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this vibrant avenue, showcasing a variety of businesses and architectural marvels that defined the era. In the foreground, we are drawn to Williamss New Post Office Coffee House, Tavern and Hotel, a popular gathering spot for locals and travelers alike. Its grand facade exudes an air of elegance and hospitality. Adjacent to it stands W Mathews' shop (no 60), specializing in hosiery and gloves - a testament to the thriving fashion industry during this time. Further down the street, Faulkner's establishment catches our eye with its inviting storefront. De Grave & Son's business is also prominently displayed nearby, adding to the lively atmosphere. As we gaze into the distance, we catch sight of none other than the General Post Office itself - an iconic landmark that served as a hub for communications throughout Britain. Whittock's attention to detail brings this scene alive with color and charm. This lithograph not only offers us a glimpse into 19th-century London but also serves as a valuable historical document preserved at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery today. It allows us to appreciate both the architectural beauty and commercial vibrancy that once thrived on Aldersgate Street.
