EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Smithfield Market" takes us back in time to the bustling agricultural scene of 19th-century London. Created by R. G. Reeve and published by Thomas McLean in 1831, this print beautifully captures the essence of Smithfield Market. The image showcases a square filled with activity, as farmers and traders gather to buy and sell their livestock. The market is teeming with life, with cattle, sheep, and cows being showcased for potential buyers. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every animal seems to have its own distinct personality captured on paper. As we gaze at this historical artwork from the British Museum collection, we are transported into a world where agriculture was at the heart of everyday life. It serves as a reminder of our deep connection to nature and how vital farming was (and still is) for sustenance. While admiring this engraving by James Pollard after an original work by himself dating back over two centuries ago, one cannot help but appreciate the skillful craftsmanship that went into creating such intricate details using only lines etched onto metal plates. In conclusion, this print offers us a glimpse into London's past - a vibrant hub of commerce centered around agriculture - reminding us of our roots and the importance of preserving our agricultural heritage for future generations.
