EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back in time to the bustling streets of 19th century London. The scene depicts a poulterer's shop on Holborn Hill, with a vibrant crowd gathered outside. Birds of all shapes and sizes hang across the facade, creating an intriguing display that catches the eye. The image transports us to a bygone era when local shops were at the heart of community life. People from all walks of life can be seen in this snapshot, their faces filled with curiosity and anticipation as they admire the assortment of poultry on offer. The poulterer's shop stands as a testament to craftsmanship and tradition, providing sustenance for families in an age before supermarkets dominated our shopping experiences. Published in the Illustrated London News during Christmas time in 1845, this print captures not only a moment frozen in time but also offers us a glimpse into historical customs and practices surrounding food provisioning. It reminds us that even centuries ago, people flocked together around shared necessities like nourishment. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of how much has changed over time while recognizing that some aspects remain constant - our need for sustenance and our desire to come together as communities.
