EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to the vibrant streets of Covent Garden in 18th century London. This enchanting dawn scene captures the essence of daily life during that time, showcasing the bustling market square and its diverse cast of characters. At the center of attention is Betty Careless, a notorious bagnio owner, being carried with grace and grandeur towards her establishment on the left side of the image. Perched atop her sedan chair sits Captain Montague, one of her ardent lovers, while behind him we see Captain Marcellus Laroon. The presence of these gentlemen hints at the scandalous affairs and intrigues that often unfolded within Covent Garden's walls. The artist behind this remarkable engraving is LP Boitard (Louis Philippe Boitard), known for his skillful depiction of everyday life in Britain. Through his masterful use of monochrome tones, he brings out both the charm and chaos present in this dynamic cityscape. As we observe this snapshot from history, we are transported to an era where trade thrived amidst a sea of people going about their daily routines. The crowd gathered around Covent Garden Market adds depth to this composition as it symbolizes not only commerce but also community. This print serves as a testament to Boitard's ability to capture moments frozen in time with incredible detail and wit. It invites us to imagine ourselves strolling through those cobblestone streets alongside men
