EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a glimpse of life in Merton Road, Tooting around the year 1890. The image, taken from Sir Walter Besant's book "London - South of the Thames" showcases a row of old cottages that exude charm and history. Standing proudly on this quaint street, these buildings tell tales of a bygone era. In this snapshot, we see a bustling scene with people going about their daily lives. A group of females can be spotted near the cottages, including children who add an element of innocence to the picture. Perhaps they are residents or passersby marveling at the architecture and beauty surrounding them. The atmosphere is filled with activity as one girl appears to be engaged in her job or occupation. Could she be involved in one of the cottage industries prevalent during that time? The cobbler nearby suggests craftsmanship was valued here. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and character to this enchanting landscape engraving. It transports us back to late 19th-century Britain when Merton Road was at its prime. As we gaze upon this historical gem, it becomes evident why Sir Walter Besant chose to include it in his literary work. This print serves as a reminder that even amidst progress and change, remnants of our past continue to shape our present-day surroundings. It invites us to appreciate both the architectural heritage preserved within London's streets and the stories held within their walls.
