EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of street life in London in 1877, showcasing the daily hustle and bustle of the city. The image features a street locksmith hard at work, surrounded by various objects and tools of his trade. His apron is stained with grease and dirt, a testament to his dedication to his craft.
In the background, we see a cart wheelbarrow filled with supplies, highlighting the importance of transportation in this era. The scene exudes a sense of poverty and struggle, yet there is also an air of resilience and determination among the people depicted.
The photographer, John Thomson, has expertly captured not just a moment in time but also a glimpse into the social conditions and realities faced by individuals living on the streets of London during this period. From their clothing to their footwear, every detail tells a story about their lives.
As we gaze upon this print on double-weight paper from Alinari Archives in Florence, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the hardships faced by those who made up the fabric of society in Victorian London. It serves as a poignant reminder of how far we have come as a society while also shedding light on issues that still persist today.
