EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting world of Mrs Salmons Waxworks in Fleet Street, London, circa 1793. The image showcases the exterior view of 189 Fleet Street, where this renowned waxwork exhibition was held. Despite its age and anonymity, the engraving beautifully captures the essence of this eighteenth-century concept. The picture reveals a slightly askew building standing proudly amidst the bustling city of London. Its monochrome tones add an air of mystery and nostalgia to the scene. As we gaze upon this historic lane, we can almost imagine ourselves strolling down that very road centuries ago. Mrs Salmons Waxworks was undoubtedly a trade that fascinated both locals and visitors alike during its time. This unique exhibition offered glimpses into historical figures and famous events through meticulously crafted wax sculptures. The wonky angle at which the photograph is taken only adds to our curiosity about what wonders lay inside those walls. Thanks to Guildhall Library and Art Gallery's preservation efforts, we are able to glimpse into this bygone era through their collection of prints like these. It serves as a reminder of how artistry transcends time and allows us to connect with history on a deeper level.
