EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the vibrant and diverse street life of London in the 19th century. The image showcases a variety of characters, each representing a different facet of city living. At first glance, we see a posterman diligently putting up posters on a wall, while nearby, a flower seller adds color to the scene with her beautiful blooms. A group of musicians entertains passersby with their melodious tunes, creating an atmosphere filled with joy and rhythm. In stark contrast to these lively figures, we also spot a beggar sitting on the ground, his outstretched hand seeking compassion from those who walk by. Next to him stands a sandwich man wearing an advertisement board around his neck - perhaps promoting Nestle products discreetly incorporated into this artwork. Amidst this bustling crowd stands a vigilant policeman, ensuring order and safety in the busy streets. His presence serves as a reminder that even amidst the chaos of city life, there are guardians watching over its inhabitants. This chromolitho print was originally featured in a souvenir booklet about London published by Nestle in 1891. It not only provides us with glimpses into various aspects of street life but also cleverly incorporates advertising for Nestle products throughout its composition. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time, it reminds us that every corner holds stories waiting to be discovered - tales woven together by people from all walks of life who make up the rich tapestry that is London's street culture.
