EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Milton Street, London in 1791. The artist, John Thomas Smith, skillfully captures a slice of everyday life from this era. Sweatings Passage comes alive as we catch a glimpse of a house that may have been home to two notable figures: Dick Whittington and Sir Thomas Gresham. In the foreground, we see an intriguing cast of characters. A man with a wooden leg stands proudly next to his loyal companion, Nelson the dog. They both seem like fixtures in this vibrant community. Nearby, a woman diligently washes clothes while another holds her precious baby close. It is through these ordinary scenes that we gain insight into family life during the 18th century. The architecture lining Milton Street showcases the charm and elegance of Tudor-era buildings. This avenue exudes history and character as people go about their daily routines on its cobblestone road. Preserved by time in monochrome splendor, this engraving transports us back to an era long gone but not forgotten. Thanks to Guildhall Library and Art Gallery's collection, we are able to appreciate John Thomas Smith's talent for capturing moments frozen in time.
