EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of 1851 London. Captured by W. Joyce, it showcases W. S. Burton's general furnishing and ironmongery store located at 39 Oxford Street. The image transports us to a time when horse-drawn carts were a common sight, as evidenced by the majestic horse standing proudly in front of the shop. The scene is filled with activity, with men and women going about their daily routines amidst the backdrop of this thriving commercial district. The cart parked outside the store hints at a delivery or perhaps an eager customer ready to load up on goods from Burton's renowned establishment. The composition captures both the grandeur of the architecture and the intricate details that make up this historic moment in England's capital city. With its format set in landscape mode, every element is perfectly framed within this snapshot of history. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, we can't help but imagine what life was like during those times - where shopping meant visiting local stores like Burton's for all your household needs. This print serves as a reminder of how far we've come while honoring our shared heritage and reminding us to appreciate these glimpses into our pasts captured so beautifully by photographers like W. Joyce and preserved by institutions such as Hulton Archive/Getty Images.
