EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Hyde Park Corner in 1822" takes us back to the bustling streets of London in the 19th century. Artist George Cruikshank masterfully captures the vibrant atmosphere of this iconic area, located at the southeastern corner of Hyde Park. The image showcases a lively scene filled with people from all walks of life. Men and women can be seen strolling along the lanes and avenues, socializing and enjoying their day in this fashionable part of town. The architecture surrounding them reflects the grandeur of British society during that era. One cannot help but notice a sense of shock on some faces as they encounter a statue depicting Achilles from Greek mythology, which stands proudly at Hyde Park Corner. This nod to classical art may have been met with prudishness by some individuals in this more conservative time period. Intriguingly, amidst all the activity and societal norms being challenged, we catch a glimpse of a woman who appears slightly disgusted by what she sees. Her expression adds an element of mystery to this snapshot from history. This remarkable print not only offers us a window into 19th-century London but also serves as a reminder that even within such well-established spaces like royal parks, concepts like mythology and nudity could still elicit strong reactions among its visitors.
