EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Rabbits, Cries of London, 1804" takes us back to the bustling streets of Marylebone in the early 19th century. The image captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing a man walking along Portland Place with a pole slung over his shoulder. Hanging from this pole are several rabbits, ready for sale. The anonymous photographer skillfully portrays the vibrant street life of London during this era. The scene is filled with intriguing details that transport us to another time: the man's traditional attire complete with an apron, the cobblestone road beneath his feet, and the elegant architecture lining both sides of the avenue. As we gaze at this photograph, we can't help but wonder about the daily lives and occupations of these individuals who once inhabited these very streets. What was it like to be a street seller in 19th-century London? How did they navigate their way through crowded lanes while carrying their wares? This image serves as a poignant reminder of our rich history and how much has changed since then. It invites us to reflect on our own fast-paced modern lives while appreciating moments captured centuries ago. Thanks to Heritage Images and Guildhall Library and Art Gallery for preserving such remarkable glimpses into our past.
