EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Between 5 O clock and 6 O clock in the Morning, 1840" takes us back to a bustling street scene in Victorian London. The image, captured by George Scharf the Elder, showcases a snapshot of daily life during this era. In this intriguing composition, we are transported to an early morning hour where workers from various trades are already hard at work. Dressed in their distinctive costumes and donning top hats and coats, these men represent different guilds or trade associations. Each one carries a basket or tool specific to their profession. The photograph not only captures the physical labor but also conveys the drudgery of their work through their expressions. Amidst the busy atmosphere, a young boy can be seen among them - perhaps an apprentice learning the ropes of his chosen trade. This image offers us a glimpse into the world of Victorian commuters as they navigate through crowded streets on their way to earn a living. It serves as a reminder of the dedication and perseverance required for these tradesmen who played vital roles in shaping society during that time. As we admire this historical piece from our private collection, let us appreciate both the artistry behind it and its ability to transport us back in time to witness everyday life in all its intricacies.
