EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a window cleaner in Islington, London during the years 1926-1927. The artist behind this remarkable piece is McLeish, whose attention to detail brings this moment from the past to life. This illustration was featured in the renowned publication "Wonderful London" edited by Arthur St John Adcock and published by Amalgamated Press. In this snapshot of history, we see a dedicated window cleaner going about his daily work amidst the bustling city streets. Dressed in overalls, he stands confidently on a ladder with his cleaning tools at hand. His presence adds character to an otherwise ordinary street scene. The backdrop showcases typical British buildings of that era, with their distinct architecture and fanlight doorways. The road transport of the time can be seen as well, including carts used for transportation purposes. This image not only provides us with a glimpse into early 20th-century England but also highlights an important profession that often goes unnoticed - window cleaning. It serves as a reminder of the hardworking individuals who played vital roles in keeping cities clean and presentable. McLeish's photogravure technique enhances the monochrome aesthetic of this print, giving it a timeless quality that transports us back to those vibrant streets of Islington nearly a century ago.
