EDITORS COMMENTS
A Thoroughbred November & London Particular, engraved by George Hunt, captures the essence of 19th-century London in a single frame. This print takes us back to a time when thick fog blanketed the city streets, earning the notorious nickname 'pea souper. ' The image showcases a carriage horse navigating through the cobbled street as pedestrians don gaiters and cover their mouths with handkerchiefs to protect themselves from the smog's potential diseases. Published by Thomas McLean in 1827, this colour lithograph offers a satirical take on Georgian society. With its humorous caricatures and clever commentary on urban life, it serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical document. The attention to detail is remarkable; every element contributes to painting a vivid picture of London during that era. The print belongs to a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection, preserving this valuable piece of English history for generations to come. As we gaze upon this artwork today, we are reminded of how far our cities have evolved since then. It serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by our ancestors while also highlighting the progress made in combating pollution and improving public health. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured this significant moment in time through their meticulous reproduction process. This stunning print allows us to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its cultural significance.
