EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Chair-mender, News Boy, Flying Pieman and Blackfriars Bridge" offers a glimpse into the bustling streets of 19th century London. The woodcut engraving by Isaac Taylor showcases the diverse trades and vibrant atmosphere of the capital city. In this scene, we see a chair-mender diligently repairing a seat with rushes in Punyer Alley. Nearby, a newspaper boy energetically sells papers while a flying pieman tempts passersby with his delicious pies near the Obelisk on Fleet Street. These street vendors add to the lively ambiance of the area. The iconic Blackfriars Bridge looms in the background, an architectural marvel designed by Robert Mylne in 1760. Watermen can be seen navigating beneath it on the River Thames, further emphasizing London's connection to trade and transportation. Created as part of "City Scenes" by Ann Taylor and Jane Taylor, two talented sisters known for their Romantic poetry and children's books during the early 19th century, this illustration captures both historical significance and educational value. It provides viewers with insights into daily life during that era. With its intricate details and rich history, this print transports us back in time to experience London's past through artistry.
