EDITORS COMMENTS
Belgravia out of Door: A Busy Victorian Street Scene of Belgravia, London, as Depicted in the Cornhill Magazine, March 1862 This bird's-eye view of Belgravia, a prestigious district in central London during the 1860s, was published in the Cornhill Magazine in March 1862. The illustration, created by the renowned English artist Richard Doyle under the pseudonym 'XI,' offers a fascinating glimpse into the bustling heart of this affluent neighborhood. The scene unfolds as if peering through an open door, revealing a cacophony of activity. The Georgian terrace houses, with their elegant facades and neatly trimmed gardens, line the quiet, tree-lined street. However, the tranquility is shattered as we venture further into the frame. The street comes alive with a procession of horse-drawn carriages, their clattering hooves and jingling harnesses adding to the symphony of sounds. Pedestrians, dressed in the fashionable attire of the era, hurry along the pavement, their umbrellas shielding them from the occasional drizzle. Birds perch on the rooftops, adding a touch of whimsy to the urban landscape. The traffic on the road is a testament to the area's prosperity. Gentlemen in top hats and ladies in crinoline skirts step out of grand houses, while children play in the gutters. Street vendors peddle their wares, and a policeman stands guard at a corner, ensuring order amidst the chaos. This illustration, titled 'Belgravia out of Door,' offers a unique perspective of Victorian society, capturing the essence of London's vibrant and bustling urban life during the 19th century.
