EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of Hyde Park Turnpike, dating back to 1876. The image showcases the auction of the toll gate located between Piccadilly and Kensington, offering a glimpse into bustling city life in Victorian London. The creator of this remarkable piece remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to its historical significance. The scene is filled with activity as people from all walks of life gather around to witness the sale unfold. A male auctioneer stands at the center, passionately describing the toll gate's features and value to potential buyers. Onlookers eagerly watch, their faces reflecting curiosity and anticipation. The setting exudes an authentic 19th-century charm with its architectural details and busy streetscape. A lady can be seen nearby, perhaps representing one of the few females involved in such business affairs during that era. Meanwhile, a lamplighter perched on a ladder adds another layer of authenticity to this snapshot of urban life. This engraving was originally featured in Edward Walford's publication "Old and New London: A Narrative of Its History, Its People, and Its Places". It offers us a unique window into how trade operated within bustling capital cities like London during this time period. As we gaze upon this intriguing photograph print today, we are reminded not only of our shared heritage but also how far we have come since those bustling days on Hyde Park Turnpike.
