EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "New Street Letter-Boxes" takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century London. The image showcases a corner of Fleet Street, where an array of post office letter boxes stand tall against the backdrop of historic buildings. The artist, belonging to the English School of that era, skillfully captures the essence of street scenes in this detailed illustration. Each letter box is meticulously depicted with its distinct design and placement along the busy sidewalk. These iconic postal fixtures serve as a reminder of how communication was carried out during a time when technology had not yet taken over. As we gaze at this print from Fine Art Finder's collection, we are transported to a bygone era filled with horse-drawn carriages and people going about their daily lives. The architectural elements surrounding these letter boxes add depth and character to the scene, showcasing London's rich history. This artwork originally appeared in The Illustrated London News on 24 March 1855, providing readers with a glimpse into everyday life in Victorian England. Now preserved within a private collection, it serves as both a historical artifact and an artistic masterpiece that continues to captivate viewers today.
