EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The N. W. facade of the new Covent Garden market, 1827-30" transports us back to the bustling streets of London in the early 19th century. The image showcases the architectural masterpiece that was Charles Fowler's design for the new market buildings at Covent Garden. The scene is alive with activity as traders and stallholders go about their daily business on a cobbled square. The market stalls are filled to the brim with an array of fresh fruits and vegetables, enticing passersby with their vibrant colors and fragrant aromas. A cart loaded with goods stands prominently in front of a grand Georgian arcade, adding to the sense of commerce and trade. Thomas Hosmer Shepherd's intricate engravings beautifully capture every detail of this historic moment in time. From the meticulously designed colonnade to the animated figures going about their work, each element contributes to painting a vivid picture of life in old Covent Garden. As we gaze upon this print from our private collection, we can't help but marvel at how much has changed since those days while appreciating how certain aspects have remained timeless. This artwork serves as both a historical document and a celebration of human enterprise – reminding us that markets like Covent Garden have long been vital hubs where communities gather, exchange goods, and forge connections that transcend time itself.
