EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Cheapside, London, during the late 19th to early 20th century. The image, captured through the fascinating technique of photochrom, showcases a vibrant cityscape filled with life and movement. As we delve into this snapshot from history, we are transported to a bygone era where horse-drawn carriages gracefully navigate their way amidst a sea of pedestrians. The turn-of-the-century architecture stands tall and proud, reflecting the grandeur of Victorian England. The scene is alive with activity - people going about their daily lives, vehicles traversing the cobbled streets, and even an omnibus making its way through the busy thoroughfare. A diligent policeman keeps watch over this lively street scene while lamp posts illuminate the path for those venturing out after dark. Cheapside's significance as part of London's City becomes evident in this photograph; it was not only a major transportation hub but also served as a center for commerce and trade. This iconic location holds historical importance as it marks one boundary within which true Cockneys were said to be born – within earshot of Bow bells at St Mary-le-Bow Church. With its vivid colors and intricate details brought forth by photochrom technology, this print allows us to witness firsthand what life was like in one of London's most vibrant districts over a century ago. It serves as both a visual feast for our eyes and an invaluable glimpse into our shared past.
