The London Boardmen - A Glimpse into Victorian Street Life
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph, taken in 1877 by J. Thomson and Adolphe Smith, offers a fascinating insight into the bustling streets of Victorian London. The image showcases two boardmen, clad in their distinctive sandwich boards adorned with advertisements, as they navigate through the city's daily hustle and bustle. The scene captures the essence of a typical day in 19th-century London; men dressed in formal attire can be seen strolling past horse-drawn carriages while others go about their business. The advertisement on one of the boardmen's signs promotes Renovo, a product that remains shrouded in mystery to this day. With its Dickensian atmosphere, this photograph transports us back to an era when advertising was still finding its feet. These walking billboards were an ingenious way for companies to capture attention amidst the chaos of urban life. The image also highlights the fashion trends of the time – top hats and long coats are prevalent among these dapper gentlemen. It serves as a reminder that even amid their work duties, these boardmen took pride in their appearance. Preserved within private collections today, this remarkable snapshot from "Street Life in London" continues to captivate viewers with its historical significance and artistic merit. It stands as a testament to both early photography techniques and the vibrancy of everyday life during one of history's most iconic periods - Victorian England.
