EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting streets of London in 1893. The subject of this image is none other than the iconic Old Curiosity Shop, forever immortalized by Charles Dickens in his renowned novel. As we gaze upon this architectural masterpiece, we are transported into a world of Victorian charm and curiosity. The Old Curiosity Shop stands proudly amidst the bustling cityscape, its exterior exuding an air of mystery and intrigue. Located in Holborn, it has become a beloved landmark for locals and visitors alike. The monochrome tones add a sense of nostalgia to the scene, capturing the essence of nineteenth-century England. The artist behind this remarkable photograph is John L Stoddard, who skillfully captures every intricate detail of the building's facade. His work transports us through time, allowing us to witness firsthand what inspired Dickens himself. As we explore this image further, our eyes are drawn to stacks of wastepaper outside the shop—a testament to its name and perhaps hinting at hidden treasures within its walls. This juxtaposition between waste and wonder adds another layer to our understanding of both the setting itself and Dickens' literary genius. In summary, this print from "Portfolio of Photographs" serves as a visual portal into London's past—a reminder that even buildings can hold stories worth telling. It invites us on a journey through time while paying homage to one of literature's greatest authors: Charles Dickens.
