Hackney, Looking Towards the Church, 1840
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that offers a glimpse into the rich history of Hackney, London. Taken in the mid-19th century by an unknown creator, this image showcases the idyllic countryside setting of Hackney before it transformed into a bustling city. Before the construction of railways in the 1850s, Hackney was known as a retreat for nobility seeking solace from urban life. The parish church of St John-at-Hackney, built in 1789 and now listed as Grade II, stands proudly at the center of this picturesque landscape. The photo captures various elements that define life during that era. A horse-drawn covered wagon can be seen traversing along a road while pedestrians go about their daily activities. Men and women dressed in traditional attire stroll past shops with intriguing storefronts. Sheep graze peacefully nearby, highlighting the area's agricultural roots. This print is sourced from "Old and New London: A Narrative of Its History, Its People, and Its Places" written by Edward Walford. It serves as both a historical document and an artistic representation of Hackney's past. With its monochrome aesthetic and intricate details captured through engraving techniques, this print transports viewers back to a time when Hackney was still transitioning from its rural origins to becoming part of bustling London city life.
