EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of St Giles in 1850s London. Known as "The Rookery" this neighborhood was a hotbed of activity, teeming with life and history. The engraving, created by an anonymous English artist from the 19th century, beautifully captures the essence of this vibrant area. As we gaze at the image, we are transported to a time when horse-drawn carriages filled the cobblestone streets and pedestrians hurried along their way. The architecture is strikingly detailed, showcasing the intricate facades of buildings that have witnessed countless stories unfold within their walls. This particular print was featured in Walter Thornbury's book "Old and New London" published around 1890. It serves as a testament to both historical accuracy and artistic skill. Through digital cleaning techniques, this image has been preserved for generations to come. "The Rookery" holds a significant place in England's history, serving as a microcosm of urban life during that era. Its reputation as a notorious slum adds depth to our understanding of social conditions at the time. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we can now appreciate this remarkable piece from our own homes or offices. Let it transport you back in time and immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of London's past.
