EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Building of Common Sewers on Holborn, 1845" takes us back to a pivotal moment in London's history. Created by the talented artist George Scharf the Elder, this artwork showcases the construction of an essential infrastructure project that revolutionized sanitation in Victorian London. The scene depicted is bustling with activity as workers diligently labor underground to build a network of common sewers. With their tools in hand and determination on their faces, these figures play a crucial role in improving public health and hygiene during this era. Holborn, known for its vibrant streets like Drury Lane, serves as the backdrop for this historical endeavor. The drawing skillfully captures the intricate details of buildings lining the street above ground while simultaneously revealing glimpses into the subterranean world being created below. Scharf's use of watercolor and graphite brings depth and texture to his depiction of this significant civil engineering feat. Through his artistry, he not only documents but also immortalizes an important chapter in London's development. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from our private collection, we are reminded of how far we have come in terms of urban planning and sanitation practices. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance when faced with challenges related to public health.
