EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Mare Street, Hackney, London, c1845" transports us back to the bustling streets of 19th century London. Created by the talented artist CJ Greenwood, this print captures a vibrant snapshot of daily life during that era. In the foreground of the image, pedestrians and horse-drawn vehicles fill Mare Street as they go about their business. The scene is enlivened by a steam train passing over the railway bridge above. This juxtaposition between traditional modes of transportation and emerging industrial advancements provides a fascinating glimpse into the evolving landscape of Victorian England. As we explore further into this historical setting, our eyes are drawn to an array of shops lining both sides of Mare Street. Among them stands out the Kings Head public house at far right, proudly advertising Truman, Hanbury and Buxton beers – undoubtedly a popular spot for locals seeking refreshment after a long day's work. The church spire in the distance belongs to St John-at-Hackney, serving as a reminder of Christianity's significant role in society during this time. It stands tall amidst all the hustle and bustle; its presence offering solace and spiritual guidance to those who seek it. This lithograph from CJ Greenwood not only captures architectural details but also portrays men and women going about their daily routines along this iconic street in Hackney. With its rich historical context and meticulous attention to detail, this artwork serves as an invaluable window into 19th-century London life
