EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the bustling street life in London during the year 1877. The workers on the "silent highway" are depicted going about their daily tasks, transporting goods and passengers along the river with a sense of purpose and determination. The image showcases a moment frozen in time, offering a glimpse into the social conditions and landscape of poverty that characterized this era.
The print, made on double-weight paper, highlights the intricate details of each individual in the scene - from the wooden beer barrels being transported to the workers' clothing and accessories. The photographer, John Thomson, has skillfully captured not just a snapshot of daily life but also a piece of history that speaks volumes about society and politics at that time.
As we gaze upon this historical photograph from Alinari Archives in Florence, we are transported back to 19th century London, where hard work and perseverance were essential for survival. The architecture and structures in the background provide context for this busy scene, while also showcasing the unique charm of European cities during this period.
Overall, this print is not just a visual representation of street life in London but also an anthropological study that sheds light on how people lived and worked in Great Britain over a century ago.
