EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Baker delivering bread in London, 1800s" takes us back to the bustling streets of early 19th century England. The image showcases a baker adorned in traditional attire as he goes about his daily routine. With a cap atop his head and a green jacket over his striped waistcoat, this hardworking individual embodies the essence of British society during this era. Carrying baskets filled with peck loaves, the baker navigates through the crowded streets of London. His apron is tied securely around his waist, ready for any spills or messes that may occur along the way. The striped stockings peeking out from beneath his trousers add an extra touch of character to his ensemble. The scene depicted here not only captures the profession and tradition of baking but also provides insight into everyday life in 19th century Britain. As we gaze upon this handcoloured copperplate engraving by William Alexander after an illustration by Jean-Baptiste Eyries, we are transported back in time to witness one small aspect of a vibrant and evolving society. Through this artwork, we can appreciate both the craftsmanship involved in creating such detailed engravings and gain a glimpse into historical European culture. This print serves as a reminder of how much has changed since those days while also celebrating timeless traditions that continue to shape our lives today.
