EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to Coleman Street, London, in the year 1823. This print captures a slice of everyday life in the bustling city during the 19th century. The focus of the image is a charming house nestled within Pitchers Court, Little Bell Alley. Two women can be seen tending to their daily chores as they hang laundry on a washing line, while two young boys engage in an intense game of marbles nearby. This historic residence holds special significance as it was once home to renowned poet Robert Bloomfield. As you gaze upon this monochrome scene, imagine the creative spirit that once resided within these walls and how it may have influenced Bloomfield's poetic works. The narrow alleyway exudes an air of mystery and drama, with its tightly packed buildings creating a sense of intimacy amidst the bustling cityscape. It serves as a reminder of London's rich history and its ability to preserve fragments of past lives. Transport yourself into this bygone era where children found joy in simple outdoor games and streets were filled with the sounds of laughter and playfulness. This enchanting photograph from Guildhall Library and Art Gallery offers us a glimpse into street life during this time period – a testament to both human connection and resilience.
