EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Promenade of Wonders, Drury Lane, London" takes us back to the 19th century and immerses us in a world of extraordinary entertainment. The image showcases a bustling scene filled with curious onlookers, eager to witness the marvels that await them. In this vibrant artwork, we see a young boy at the forefront, his eyes wide with wonder as he gazes upon the array of bizarre exhibits. Surrounding him are other children who share in his excitement and anticipation. This Promenade of Wonders is truly a spectacle like no other. Drury Lane comes alive in this print as it becomes an epicenter for amusement and astonishment. The exhibition features all manner of oddities - from fat men to freakish wonders - each one drawing gasps and whispers from the crowd. It's a place where giants roam alongside little boys, creating an enchanting atmosphere that captivates both young and old alike. The artist skillfully captures not only the visual spectacle but also the sense of joy and curiosity radiating from these children-only exhibitions. Through this engraving, we catch a glimpse into a bygone era when such shows were considered both educational and entertaining. This remarkable piece serves as a reminder that throughout history, humans have always been fascinated by what lies beyond their everyday experiences – seeking out new worlds to explore within their own cities.
