EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the bustling streets of Victorian London with this photo print. Taken in 1877 by renowned photographer John Thomson, it captures the essence of street life during that era. The image showcases a group of bill stickers diligently pasting placards on hoarding signs, advertising the famous Madame Tussauds waxworks museum. The black and white composition adds a timeless quality to the scene, allowing us to appreciate every intricate detail. The portrait format emphasizes the human element within this bustling cityscape, as we see a white male engrossed in his task amidst the chaos of passersby. This particular photograph is part of Thomson's iconic series 'Street Life In London, ' which he co-authored with Adolphe Smith. Through their work, they shed light on various aspects of urban life and its inhabitants during this transformative period. Preserved within an archive for over a century, this print offers us a glimpse into history—a testament to both Thomson's skillful eye and his dedication to documenting everyday moments. As we admire this piece, let our imagination transport us back to late 19th-century England when these advertisements were plastered across every corner—enticing locals and tourists alike with promises of marvels at Madame Tussauds.
