EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back to the bustling streets of London in 1888. Titled "London in 1888: The City Road, Finsbury Circus to the Angel Islington" this print offers a fascinating bird's-eye view of one of the city's principal streets during that era. The detailed illustration showcases various landmarks along the route, including St John Street Road, Goswell Road, Finsbury Square, Chiswell Street, Upper Street, and Worship Street. It provides a glimpse into the architectural beauty and urban landscape of late nineteenth-century London. Created by an unknown English School artist from the 19th century and now part of a private collection, this engraving was originally featured in Herbert Fry's book "London in 1888". The publication aimed to capture the essence of Victorian London through eighteen bird's-eye views of its most significant streets. As we observe this historical artwork today, we are transported back in time to witness horse-drawn carriages navigating cobblestone roads while pedestrians go about their daily lives. The presence of angels depicted throughout adds an ethereal touch to this snapshot from another era. With its intricate details and evocative atmosphere, this engraving serves as both a visual record and a testament to London's rich history. It allows us to appreciate how much has changed over time while also recognizing certain enduring aspects that make London such an iconic city even today.
