EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Croydon: High Street" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of 19th century England. The print, part of a private collection, is an illustration based on contemporary photographs taken by English School artists. The image showcases the vibrant energy of Croydon's High Street during this era. Cobblestone streets stretch out before us, lined with charming buildings that exude a sense of history and character. The street network weaves its way through the scene, creating avenues for pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages alike. The monochromatic palette adds a timeless quality to the lithograph, emphasizing the intricate details captured by the artist's hand. Every stroke brings forth a sense of nostalgia and transports us to another time. As we gaze upon this piece, our senses are awakened as if we were actually present on that very street. We can almost hear the sounds of horses' hooves clattering against cobblestones and catch whiffs of various scents wafting from nearby shops. This print serves as both a historical document and a work of art. It allows us to appreciate not only the craftsmanship involved in lithography but also offers glimpses into life in 19th century Croydon. It invites contemplation about how much has changed over time while reminding us that certain elements endure throughout centuries - like the beauty found within city streets.
