EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Mile End Gate, Mile End Road, Stepney, London, 1866" captures the essence of 19th century Britain. The artist C Read skillfully portrays a bustling street scene in East End London during this era. The focal point of the image is the former toll gate that stood proudly until its removal on October 31st, 1866. It serves as a reminder of the country's transportation history and signifies progress in road transport. Surrounding the gate are various buildings and shops that line Mile End Road. One notable establishment is an eel and pie shop, which adds to the charm and character of this vibrant neighborhood. Horse-drawn carriages can be seen traversing along the road while people go about their daily activities outside these shops. The lampposts provide lighting for pedestrians during evening hours. Guildhall Library and Art Gallery stands tall in the background, symbolizing knowledge and culture within this community. This monochrome print transports us back to Victorian England with its attention to detail and historical accuracy. It offers a glimpse into everyday life at that time - a snapshot frozen in time for future generations to appreciate.
