EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Morning (Four Times of the Day), 1738" takes us back to a winter morning in Covent Garden, London during the 18th century. The scene is alive with bustling street life and tells a story of social dynamics and human interactions. In the foreground, a small fire burns, providing warmth in the cold morning air. A stall-keeper sits on a basket nearby, perhaps taking a momentary break from his trade. Our attention is then drawn to an elderly woman accompanied by her forlorn footman dressed in an elaborate coat. They observe with curiosity as a flirtation unfolds between a market woman and a soldier. The setting comes alive with historical details such as Tom Kings coffee house visible on the right side of the image. This establishment was likely frequented by locals seeking their daily dose of caffeine and lively conversation. Through this engraving by William Hogarth, we catch glimpses into various aspects of life during that time - poverty juxtaposed against wealth, occupations ranging from street sellers to soldiers, and even subtle satire woven into everyday scenes. With its monochrome black-and-white aesthetic capturing every intricate detail, this print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and valuable historical documentation. It invites viewers to step back in time and immerse themselves in the vibrant tapestry of 18th-century London's Covent Garden district.
