EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print titled "Italy in London" takes us back to the bustling streets of late 19th century Europe. The image, created by Phil May, showcases a vibrant scene filled with street vendors and various professions that were prevalent during that era. In this snapshot of London life, we are transported to an Italian corner where an ice cream vendor tempts passersby with his delectable treats. Nearby, a fortune teller captivates her audience with promises of glimpses into their future. The streets are alive with activity as people from all walks of life engage in conversation and commerce. The attention to detail is remarkable as the artist captures the essence of Italy within this cosmopolitan cityscape. Plaster casts adorn shop windows while models pose gracefully on the sidewalks, showcasing the influence of Italian art and culture on London's landscape. The presence of the Italian flag proudly displayed amidst other European flags reminds us of the interconnectedness between nations even in those times. This visual representation predates today's European Union but serves as a reminder that cultural exchange has long been part of our shared history. May's work allows us to appreciate both the diversity and unity found within cities like London, where different nationalities converge and contribute to its rich tapestry. As we gaze upon this print, we can almost hear snippets of conversations spoken in various languages - a true testament to how immigration shapes urban environments throughout time.
