EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Busy Fleet Street (1894)" we are transported back in time to the bustling streets of London. The scene is set on a rainy day, as a diligent policeman stands tall amidst the commotion, skillfully directing both traffic and pedestrians. His presence brings order to the chaos that engulfs Fleet Street. Amidst the downpour, a paperboy fearlessly crosses the road, his mission clear - selling copies of the Globe newspaper. The horses and coaches add an element of nostalgia to this urban landscape, reminding us of a bygone era when these majestic animals played vital roles in transportation. The vibrant colors captured by Marcus from Modern Art bring life to this historic moment frozen in time. We can almost feel the energy emanating from each individual within this diverse group - men and women going about their daily routines under their umbrellas. This photograph not only captures a specific point in history but also highlights various aspects of city life - from occupations and modes of transport to publications that shaped public opinion. It serves as a reminder of how our world has evolved over time while still retaining certain elements that connect us with our past. As we gaze upon this vertical masterpiece, we are reminded once again that art has the power to transport us through time and immerse us in different worlds – even if just for a fleeting moment.
