Piccadilly, Looking Towards the City - A Glimpse into 19th Century London Life
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print titled "Piccadilly, Looking Towards the City" offers a remarkable glimpse into the bustling city life of 19th century London. Captured by renowned British artist Thomas Shotter Boys as part of his series "Original Views of London as It Is" this hand-coloured lithograph on paper beautifully showcases the architectural grandeur and vibrant street scene that defined Piccadilly. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a harmonious blend of people from all walks of life navigating their way through the busy streets. Men and women dressed in old-fashioned attire can be seen going about their daily routines, while children playfully scamper alongside them. The lithotint technique used to create this artwork adds depth and richness to every detail, making it an exquisite piece of heritage art. The composition skillfully captures both the energy and tranquility inherent in city life. As our gaze follows Piccadilly's path towards the distant City area, we are transported back to an era where horse-drawn carriages shared space with pedestrians on cobblestone streets lined with majestic buildings. This evocative image not only serves as a visual record but also invites us to reflect upon how urban landscapes have evolved over time. It is a testament to Boys' artistic prowess and his ability to encapsulate an entire epoch within one frame. Whether you are drawn by its historical significance or simply
