EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century illustration depicts the lively scene of the sale of the Hyde Park Turnpike gate, located at Hyde Park corner between Piccadilly and Knightsbridge in London, England. The Turnpike, a toll road designed to generate revenue for the maintenance of the roads, once featured imposing gates that considerably narrowed the entrance into Piccadilly at the western end. The removal of these gates was a significant improvement, as it enhanced the flow of traffic and opened up the area, making it more accessible to the public. In the illustration, an auctioneer stands atop a makeshift stage, brandishing his hammer and exclaiming, "Once, twice, thrice!" as potential buyers eagerly bid on the old materials. A speculative contractor, with a triumphant expression, emerges as the winning bidder, no doubt elated at the prospect of using these materials to mend the roads. The bustling crowd in the background adds to the sense of excitement and anticipation, as the old gives way to the new. The sale of the Hyde Park Turnpike gate marked the end of an era, as London continued to evolve and modernize during the 19th century. The removal of the gates symbolized progress and the city's commitment to improving infrastructure and making it more accessible to its residents and visitors. This illustration provides a glimpse into the past, offering a fascinating look at the history and evolution of one of London's most iconic landmarks.
