EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era in London. Taken in 1926-1927, it showcases a kerb-side toy-seller on the bustling streets of Holborn. The image is part of the iconic "Wonderful London" series, edited by Arthur St John Adcock and published by Amalgamated Press. In this particular scene, we see a dapperly dressed man with a hat, standing proudly next to his collection of toys. His attention-grabbing nodding dolls are displayed prominently on his makeshift stall, enticing passersby with their whimsical charm. The street is filled with activity as people go about their daily routines. A young schoolboy catches our eye as he gazes longingly at the array of toys before him. The winter season adds an extra layer of nostalgia to the scene, as everyone bundles up against the chilly weather. The monochrome photogravure technique used in this print enhances its timeless quality and evokes a sense of history. It transports us back to an era when simple pleasures like buying toys from street vendors brought joy to both children and adults alike. This print serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst the hustle and bustle of city life, there were moments where innocence and wonder could be found on every corner.
