EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical cartoon print by Cruikshank captures the essence of London's rapid expansion in the 1820s. Titled "London going out of town -- the expansion of London," or alternatively known as "The March of Bricks & Mortar," this satirical commentary on the city's growth is both humorous and thought-provoking.
In the image, we see a comical depiction of London literally marching outwards, with buildings and structures extending far beyond their original boundaries. The artist cleverly uses bricks and mortar to symbolize this expansion, highlighting how urban development was encroaching on surrounding communities and towns.
Cruikshank's cartoon serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by metropolitan planners during this period, as they struggled to accommodate the growing population while preserving existing neighborhoods. The satire in his work reflects a common sentiment at the time - that London was becoming too big for its own good.
As we look back on this piece of history, we are reminded of how cities evolve over time and how important it is to balance progress with preservation. "London going out of town" is not just a whimsical illustration; it is a poignant commentary on urban planning and community development that still resonates today.
