Door Mats, Charing Cross, London, 1805 - A Glimpse into the Bustling Streets of 19th Century Britain
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the vibrant streets of Charing Cross in London during the year 1805. Captured by Sir Richard Phillips and featured in his book "Modern London; Being the History and Present State of the British Metropolis" this copper plate engraving showcases an itinerant trader at work. In this bustling scene, a male door mat seller can be seen energetically calling out to passersby. With colorful doormats neatly displayed around him, he uses his powerful voice to attract potential customers. His cries echo through the air as he skillfully promotes his trade amidst the busy city atmosphere. The image not only provides a glimpse into street life but also highlights an important aspect of commerce during that era. It reminds us of how these hardworking individuals played a vital role in providing essential goods and services to their fellow Londoners. As we observe this snapshot from history, we are transported back to a time when equestrian statues adorned public spaces and street vendors were an integral part of daily life. The vivid colors captured in this print bring forth a sense of liveliness and energy that was characteristic of early 19th-century London. Through this remarkable piece, we gain insight into both the profession and character of these street traders who contributed significantly to shaping our urban landscape.
