EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Smithfield Market, London, c1830" captures the bustling energy of a busy street scene in 19th century England. Painted by the talented artist George Cooke, this monochrome engraving showcases an array of activities taking place within Smithfield Market. In this vibrant snapshot of city life, cattle and sheep are seen being sold while dogs roam freely amidst carts and people. Amidst the chaos, a little girl points excitedly at the sheep as her mother engages in conversation with a friend nearby. The image beautifully encapsulates the liveliness and diversity found within this thriving market. The anonymous nature of this artwork adds to its intrigue, leaving us to wonder about the countless stories that unfolded on these very streets centuries ago. With its detailed depiction of both men and women engaged in trade and commerce, it offers a glimpse into gender dynamics during that era. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery for generations to come, this historic piece transports viewers back in time to experience the sights and sounds of one of London's most iconic markets. It serves as a reminder of our shared history while highlighting how much has changed over time.
