New London Bridge, Billingsgate, and the Scavenger
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating woodcut engraving depicting the bustling scene of 19th century London. The image, created by Isaac Taylor based on an original illustration by Ann and Jane Taylor, offers a glimpse into the daily life of this historic city. At the heart of the print lies the newly built New London Bridge, designed by John Rennie in 1825. The bridge, with its elegant arches and intricate details, stands proudly against the backdrop of the Thames. To the right, the Billingsgate fish market comes alive with activity, as vendors sell their fresh catch to eager buyers. Among the hustle and bustle, a scavenger with a horse and cart is seen cleaning the streets. The scavenger, often referred to as a chimney sweep or a "dallow," played a crucial role in maintaining the cleanliness of the town. Children, some as young as toddlers, assist their fathers in this labor-intensive task, carrying hoops and barrels to collect the sweepings. The scene is further enriched by the presence of various trades and industries. A bellman calls out notices, a wharf is bustling with activity as ships and barges are unloaded, and a notice board displays a missing person's advertisement. The East India Company's influence is evident with the arrival of a collier from Newcastle, unloading coal from his ship. This woodcut engraving, published by Harvey and Darton in 1828, is an educational and captivating representation of London during the early 19th century. It offers a unique perspective into the city's trades, industries, and the daily lives of its inhabitants. The image is a testament to the rich history and vibrant culture of London during this period, making it an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the city's past.
