EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Fleet Street in London, circa 1820. The artist, James Findlay, skillfully captures the essence of this vibrant cityscape with his watercolour brushstrokes. At the heart of this scene stands Raymonds City Pie House, a popular establishment that catered to the culinary desires of both locals and visitors alike. The exterior of Raymonds City Pie House is depicted in vivid color, showcasing its inviting facade adorned with charming signage. Figures can be seen outside the premises, perhaps eagerly awaiting their savory pies or engaging in lively conversations about current affairs. This snapshot from the past not only offers a glimpse into daily life during the 19th century but also highlights how food has always been an integral part of society. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this daguerreotype serves as a testament to James Findlay's talent as a photographer and his dedication to capturing historical moments for future generations. As we admire this image today, it transports us back in time and reminds us of London's rich heritage.
