EDITORS COMMENTS
The vibrant and lively streets of 18th century London come to life in this print titled "Entrance from Mile End or Whitechapel Turnpike". Created by the renowned artist Thomas Rowlandson, this colour lithograph showcases his exceptional talent for social satire and caricature. As we delve into the scene, our eyes are immediately drawn to a bustling street filled with an array of intriguing characters. A soldier stands tall, his uniform proudly displaying his allegiance. Carriages pass by, their horses trotting along gracefully as they transport passengers through the city's busy thoroughfare. Rowlandson's humorous touch is evident throughout the composition. The exaggerated features of the individuals depicted add a whimsical charm to the scene. From a comically oversized cannon being transported on one carriage to a chimney sweep perched precariously atop another, each element adds an element of surprise and delight. This satirical masterpiece offers us a glimpse into Georgian society, capturing both its quirks and idiosyncrasies. It serves as a testament to Rowlandson's keen observation skills and sharp wit. With its vivid colours and intricate details, this print transports us back in time to experience the energy and vibrancy of 18th century London firsthand. It is truly an extraordinary piece that continues to captivate viewers even centuries after its creation.
