EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Extinct Types of Old London Life" takes us on a nostalgic journey back to the streets of 19th-century London. The engraving, created by Horace Petherick in 1890, beautifully captures the essence of a bygone era. In this bustling street scene, we are transported to a time when life was simpler yet filled with unique characters and professions. From the weighty cart being pulled by a sturdy horse to the young girl diligently sweeping the cobblestones with her broom, every detail tells a story. The image showcases an array of fascinating individuals who once played vital roles in daily city life. We see the ward beadle inspecting measures while nearby, a turnpike man collects tolls from passing carts. A shoe taker carefully examines footwear as dogs curiously observe his work. Amidst this lively atmosphere, we catch glimpses of other intriguing figures such as an old watchman ringing his bell and dustmen going about their duties. A puppet show entertains onlookers while a dancing bear captivates children's attention. The presence of various animals adds another layer of charm to this snapshot in time - racehorses galloping alongside ponies and shire horses stand proudly among livestock creatures. Through Petherick's skilled artistry, we are reminded that these extinct types were once integral parts of London's vibrant tapestry. This print serves as both an homage to forgotten professions and an invitation for us to reflect
