EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the bustling streets of London in 1877 with this print titled "Street life in London: halfpenny ices." The scene captures a moment of everyday life, showcasing a vendor selling ice cream for just half a penny.
The print on double-weight paper brings out the intricate details of the cart wheelbarrow used by the vendor, highlighting the struggles and challenges faced by those trying to make a living during that era. The image also provides insight into social conditions and commerce at the time, shedding light on issues such as poverty and trade.
Photographed by John Thomson and archived by Alinari Archives in Florence, this snapshot offers a glimpse into British culture and society in the late 19th century. From the clothing worn by individuals to the expressions on their faces, every detail tells a story about life in London during that period.
As you study this print closely, you can almost hear the sounds of horses trotting down cobblestone streets and feel the energy of a city teeming with activity. It's a reminder of how much has changed over time while also serving as a timeless piece that captures an important chapter in history.
