EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the vibrant energy of 19th-century Liverpool, showcasing the Old Liverpool Infirmary and Alms-Houses with John Cookes circus in the foreground. The engraving by William Gavin Herdman offers a glimpse into the city's rich history and cultural scene. In this image, we witness the birth of John Cookes Royal Amphitheatre of Arts, as Cooke had acquired the site that would later become Queens Square. This open-air venue became a hub for circuses, plays, operas, and concerts - eventually leading to the construction of the iconic Royal Court theatre. The Old Infirmary stands tall in its grandeur but would soon be demolished in 1842 to make way for St. Georges Hall. As we observe this street scene from a bygone era, it is evident that entertainment played an essential role in Georgian society. Spectators gather around stalls and tents while eagerly watching performances unfold on stage. The architecture of both the infirmary and almshouses reflects their historical significance within Liverpool's landscape. Meanwhile, amusement rides add an element of excitement to this bustling fair-like atmosphere. Through this remarkable artwork from www. bridgemanart. com, we are transported back in time to experience not only a snapshot of architectural heritage but also a glimpse into how people sought leisure and entertainment during this period.
