EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Piccadilly, Looking Towards the City" takes us back to 1842 London, providing a glimpse into the bustling streets of that era. The artist, Thomas Shotter Boys, skillfully engraved and published this piece as part of his renowned work "London As It Is". The image showcases a scene filled with activity and transformation. In the foreground, we witness laborers laying pipes and digging up the road for what appears to be extensive roadworks. This depiction offers a fascinating insight into Victorian-era infrastructure development. As our eyes wander further down Piccadilly Street, we are drawn towards an architectural gem known as the Egyptian Hall. Its grandeur stands out amidst the surrounding chaos and construction. This iconic landmark was famous for hosting exhibitions and performances during its time. The overall atmosphere captured in this print is one of progress mixed with historical charm. It transports us back to an era where bullock-drawn carts were still prevalent on city roads. This particular print is part of a private collection but has been made available by Bridgeman Images for public viewing. Its vibrant colors bring life to every detail within its 31.1x43.2 cm frame. As we admire this historic snapshot frozen in time, it serves as a reminder of how cities evolve over centuries while preserving their unique character and heritage.
