EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1813, as captured by an unknown creator. The image showcases Jonathan Wild's House, located in the infamous Old Bailey area of London. Once the residence of notorious extortionist Jonathan Wild (1682-1725), this house holds a dark history that still lingers within its walls. The photograph is featured in Sir Walter Besant's book "London in the Eighteenth Century" published by A. & C. Black, Ltd. , London in 1925. This architectural gem stands tall amidst a bustling cityscape, representing both the corrupt underbelly and literary fascination with crime during that era. As we gaze upon this engraving from nearly two centuries ago, we are transported to a different time and place. The intricate details of the exterior architecture draw our attention while reminding us of Wild's criminal activities as a double agent and leader of a gang. Surrounded by shops lining the street, this location was witness to countless illicit transactions and nefarious dealings. It serves as a reminder of how urban landscapes can hold secrets hidden behind their charming facades. Through this evocative image, we catch a glimpse into London's past - an era marked by corruption, crime, and intrigue. It is an intriguing testament to both historical significance and artistic expression that continues to captivate viewers even today.
