EDITORS COMMENTS
This aquatint print, titled "Exterior of Fishmongers Hall, a Regular Break Down" takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th-century London. Created by Isaac Robert Cruikshank in 1824, this artwork captures a moment of chaos and danger amidst the daily hazards faced by society during that era. The scene unfolds in front of Crockfords on St. James's Street, once owned by a former fishmonger. The cobbled streets serve as the backdrop for an unfortunate accident involving a horse-drawn trap or gig. As we gaze at this print, we witness the dramatic consequences of an unexpected breakdown. The fallen horse lies helplessly on its side while bystanders rush to aid both animal and human passengers caught up in this mishap. This image serves as a reminder of the perils faced by travelers during those times when transportation relied heavily on horses. Through his intricate detailing and skilled use of aquatint technique, Cruikshank brings to life not only the physical hazard but also the vibrant energy and liveliness that characterized Georgian London. This historical artifact offers us a glimpse into everyday life where accidents like these were all too common yet still managed to captivate attention due to their unpredictability. It is through prints like these that we can truly appreciate how far our society has come in terms of safety measures and transportation advancements.
