Green Hasteds, Newgate, London, 1805 - A Glimpse into the Bustling Streets of Old London
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the vibrant streets of 19th century London. In this bustling scene, we witness a male street vendor known as Green Hasteds maneuvering his handcart through the lively crowd. Clad in colorful attire that catches the eye, he is hard at work selling his wares and calling out to potential customers. The backdrop of Newgate Prison adds an intriguing element to this snapshot of daily life. As one of London's most notorious penitentiaries during that time, it serves as a stark reminder of the city's darker side amidst its thriving trade and commerce. The engraving beautifully captures not only Green Hasteds' occupation but also provides a glimpse into the diverse range of trades and professions that characterized this era. It is a testament to the spirit and resilience of these street vendors who played an integral role in shaping London's identity. Sir Richard Phillips' meticulous attention to detail brings every aspect of this scene to life – from the vivid colors adorning Green Hasteds' cart to his animated gestures while shouting out his goods. This print truly encapsulates both the vibrancy and complexity that defined Britain's capital city during this transformative period. As we gaze upon this remarkable image today, let us appreciate how it offers us a window into history – reminding us not only of our past but also celebrating those individuals whose livelihoods contributed
