EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "DORÉ: LONDON, 1872. Houndsditch" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Victorian London. The image is a wood engraving after Gustave Doré's original artwork, skillfully capturing the essence of daily life in this vibrant city. In this particular street scene, we are transported to Houndsditch, where a sense of both chaos and charm permeates the air. The narrow road is filled with people from all walks of life - peasants going about their daily chores, businessmen hurrying along on their way to work, and children playing amidst the commotion. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable; every building facade tells its own story with intricate architectural features that reflect the era's grandeur. Despite being labeled as a slum area at that time, there is an undeniable beauty in the worn-out buildings and cobblestone streets. "DORÉ: LONDON, 1872. Houndsditch" serves as a visual pilgrimage into history, allowing us to witness firsthand what life was like during late 19th-century England. It reminds us of how far society has come while also highlighting the struggles faced by those living in impoverished areas. This Granger Collection print captures not only an artistic masterpiece but also provides valuable insight into English culture and urban development during this period.
