EDITORS COMMENTS
. This black and white aquatint print takes us back in time to the vibrant streets of Newington Butts in Southwark, London during the year 1792. The artist William Ellis skillfully captures a lively scene filled with figures going about their daily activities amidst horse-drawn carts and bustling road transport. The image showcases an avenue lined with charming buildings that reflect the architectural style of the period. The monochrome palette adds a touch of nostalgia to this snapshot from Britain's past. Located just outside Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this historic location holds significant cultural value for both locals and visitors alike.
