EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut engraving, titled "Nosegays, Watercress girl, Brewers Dray, and Twopenny-Post," offers a glimpse into the bustling streets of 19th century London as depicted in the book "City Scenes, or a Peep into London" by Ann and Jane Taylor. The illustration, created by Isaac Taylor, showcases a vibrant scene filled with the sights, sounds, and smells of urban life. In the foreground, two young girls sell nosegays and watercress to passersby. The watercress girl balances a large basket on her head, while her companion offers a bouquet of fresh flowers to a well-dressed lady. Behind them, a brewer drives a waggon filled with beer barrels, pulled by a powerful dray horse. The horse's head is adorned with a muzzle, a common practice during this era to prevent the animal from eating or biting people on the streets. To the right, a twopenny-post boy rides a post pony, carrying mail and delivering messages to residents and businesses. The boy wears a distinctive uniform and holds a bugle, signaling his presence as a messenger. In the background, various entertainers and street vendors entertain the crowd, including a monkey on a chain, a musician playing a fiddle, and a bear and dog performing a dance. The Royal Exchange, a prominent symbol of London's financial district, can be seen in the distance, along with other iconic landmarks such as the Tower of London and St. Paul's Cathedral. This enchanting illustration offers a unique perspective into the diverse trades, costumes, and entertainments of London during the early 19th century.
