EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Clerkenwell Road, Finsbury, London, around 1800. The view captures the essence of a bygone era with its charming architecture and lively atmosphere. In the foreground, we see a figure standing beside a horse-drawn cart, adding an element of human activity to the scene. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly Reids Brewery on Liquorpond Street (now known as Clerkenwell Road). This historic brewery stands tall and proud amidst its surroundings, exuding an air of craftsmanship and tradition. Its chimney emits gentle plumes of smoke into the sky, symbolizing both industry and warmth. The color palette used in this watercolor print adds depth and character to the composition. The artist's skillful use of colors brings life to every detail - from the vibrant hues adorning buildings along the avenue to subtle shades that capture natural elements such as trees or water bodies nearby. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, it reminds us not only of London's rich brewing heritage but also serves as a testament to how transportation has evolved over time. It transports us back two centuries when carts were essential for transporting goods through these busy streets. Preserved within Guildhall Library and Art Gallery's collection, this anonymous artwork offers a glimpse into London's past while celebrating its architectural beauty and cultural significance. It serves as a reminder that even though times change, certain aspects endure – like our fascination with capturing moments frozen in
