Johnny Gilpin's Journey to Ware - Setting Off, c1795
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a momentous scene from the late 18th century. In the heart of Cheapside, London, we witness John Gilpin about to embark on an extraordinary journey. As he prepares to mount his horse, three curious customers enter his bustling draper's shop on the left. In the center of this vibrant street lies a sight that warms the heart: Gilpin's wife and their three children comfortably settling into a coach. Joining them is his sister-in-law and her child, creating an atmosphere filled with anticipation and adventure. The image transports us back in time as it showcases not only the hustle and bustle of city life but also highlights the contrast between urban and rural landscapes. The avenue leading out of Cheapside beckons our traveler towards unknown destinations beyond. This engraving beautifully captures both action and emotion within its colorful frame. It serves as a testament to British culture during this era – where trade thrived amidst satire-filled streets. The Guildhall Library and Art Gallery proudly preserves this piece depicting one man's departure from city life in pursuit of new horizons. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of Johnny Gilpin's courage as he sets forth on his remarkable journey through England's picturesque countryside.
