EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the bustling atmosphere of Smithfield Market in the City of London, back in 1851. The artist, George Hawkins, skillfully presents an isometric view of the proposed improvements to this vibrant area. With its rich architectural heritage and historical significance, Smithfield Market stands as a testament to Britain's thriving trade and commerce during the 19th century. In this colorful lithograph, we can observe a myriad of buildings lining the avenue leading up to St. Paul's Cathedral. James Bunston Bunning's innovative designs for these structures are prominently featured, showcasing his contribution to shaping the cityscape. The market traders' stalls add life and energy to the scene as they engage in their daily activities. The photograph also highlights John King & Co. , a prominent establishment located on West Smithfield Lane. This company played a pivotal role in facilitating trade within this bustling marketplace. Beyond its commercial importance, religion holds significant prominence within this image as well. St. Paul's Cathedral looms majestically in the background, symbolizing Christianity's enduring presence amidst urban development. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this print offers us a glimpse into London's past—a time when architecture seamlessly blended with religious landmarks and busy streets teemed with market traders plying their wares.
