EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and detailed print captures the essence of Aldersgate Street, London in the mid-19th century. Painted by the talented artist Thomas Hosmer Shepherd, this view showcases a bustling city scene filled with shop fronts and lively figures going about their daily lives. The focal point of this image is the Half Moon Tavern, standing proudly amidst a row of charming buildings. Its inviting exterior beckons passersby to step inside and enjoy a refreshing drink or two. The street itself is lined with an array of shops, including a print and bookshop as well as a watch and clock shop, offering glimpses into the commercial hub that Aldersgate Street once was. Shepherd's masterful use of color brings life to every corner of this painting. From the vivid hues adorning each building facade to the colorful attire worn by pedestrians strolling along the lane, it truly feels like stepping back in time to experience 19th-century London firsthand. Displayed at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this watercolor print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation. It transports viewers to another era while preserving moments from Aldersgate Street's rich past.
