EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "View from Charing Cross looking towards the Strand, 1842" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Victorian London. The artist behind this masterpiece is Thomas Shotter Boys, a renowned English painter known for his meticulous attention to detail. In this print, Boys skillfully captures a panoramic view of Charing Cross as seen from one of its busiest intersections. The viewer's gaze is drawn down the wide expanse of the Strand, lined with elegant Georgian buildings on either side. The architectural grandeur is further enhanced by the presence of horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians going about their daily routines. The scene comes alive with activity - people hurrying along the sidewalks or stopping to chat; street vendors selling their wares; and even a few children playing amidst all the commotion. The atmospheric perspective adds depth to the composition as we look beyond Charing Cross into the distance where St Martin-in-the-Fields Church stands tall against an overcast sky. This lithograph not only serves as a visual documentation of London's urban landscape during that era but also evokes a sense of nostalgia for simpler times gone by. It allows us to immerse ourselves in history and marvel at how much has changed while recognizing certain elements that remain timeless. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece through careful reproduction, ensuring that future generations can appreciate its beauty and historical significance.
