EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling High Street of Newport in 1898. The creator remains unknown, but their lens captured a moment frozen in time. Newport, located in Wales, experienced remarkable growth during the 19th century as it became the largest coal-exporting port in Britain. However, its history is not only defined by economic prosperity; it also witnessed significant political events such as the Newport Rising of 1839 led by Chartists. The image showcases an avenue filled with pedestrians going about their daily lives. Men and women can be seen strolling along the road, some engrossed in conversation while others focus on their errands or window shopping at various shops lining both sides of the street. Children add a touch of innocence to this historical scene as they playfully navigate through the crowd. The architecture reflects Victorian influences prevalent during that era, with intricate details adorning shop fronts and buildings along High Street. This snapshot from "Our Own Country" provides a glimpse into urban life at that time - a vibrant cityscape where commerce thrived amidst political movements. As we gaze upon this beautifully preserved engraving, we are transported back to an age long gone but forever imprinted within our collective memory. It serves as a reminder of how cities evolve over time while retaining fragments of their past for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
