EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut engraving, titled 'Countrymen on a Stage Coach, The Monument and Pie Corner,' offers a fascinating glimpse into the bustling streets of early 19th century London. The image, taken from the book 'City Scenes, or a Peep into London' by Ann and Jane Taylor, published by Harvey and Darton in 1828, showcases three distinct elements of London life: a four-horse stage coach in front of St. Paul's Cathedral, The Monument to the Fire of London in Fish Street Hill, and a figure of a boy on Pie Corner in West Smithfield. The stage coach, a popular mode of transportation during this era, is shown stopping in front of the iconic St. Paul's Cathedral, a symbol of London's rich history and religious heritage. The Monument, a tall stone column located in Fish Street Hill, commemorates the Great Fire of London that ravaged the city in 1666. The figure of a boy on Pie Corner, a well-known area in West Smithfield, adds a touch of whimsy to the scene. The streets of London are filled with activity, with horse-drawn carts and scavenger wagons making their way through the crowded streets. The New London Bridge, Billingsgate Fish Market, and the scavengers and cleaners collecting dung and garbage can be seen in the background. The image provides an educational and entertaining view into the trades and daily life of London during this period. The woodcut engraving, created by Isaac Taylor after an illustration by Ann and Jane Taylor, showcases the sisters' talent as Romantic poets and writers of children's books. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the scene to life, transporting the viewer back in time to experience the sights, sounds, and smells of London in the early 19th century.
