EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from c1865 transports us back to the bustling streets of St Martins Lane in Westminster, London. The artist, JT Wilson, skillfully captures the essence of this vibrant cityscape with its charming 19th-century buildings and cobblestone roads. As we gaze upon the image, our eyes are drawn to the Barn Tavern on the right side of the frame. Its inviting facade hints at a lively atmosphere within, where locals and visitors alike may have gathered for a pint or two. On the left side of the street, a building proudly displays a sign advertising the Panorama of Edinburgh—an intriguing glimpse into popular entertainment during that era. The presence of figures in this scene adds depth and life to Wilson's watercolour masterpiece. Pedestrians can be seen strolling along the pavement, going about their daily routines amidst this picturesque setting. Their Victorian attire serves as a reminder of how different life was during those times. This historic photograph is not only an exquisite work of art but also provides valuable insights into London's rich heritage. It offers us a window into 19th-century Britain—a time when horse-drawn carriages traversed these very streets and gas lamps illuminated evenings. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this remarkable print allows us to appreciate both JT Wilson's artistic talent and his ability to capture an authentic slice-of-life moment in one corner of England's capital city.
