EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by the talented artist Louis Haghe in c1825, showcases the serene beauty of St Georges Fields in Southwark, London. The focal point of this enchanting scene is the Indigent Blind School at St Georges Fields, standing proudly amidst a backdrop of architectural wonders. The eye is immediately drawn to the magnificent obelisk erected in 1771 at St Georges Circus. Serving as a milestone for weary travelers, it adds an air of historical significance to this already picturesque location. As we explore further into the image, we are greeted by a charming sight - figures scattered across the foreground. Among them is a child gleefully playing with a hoop while horse-drawn vehicles gracefully traverse through the streets. The presence of omnibuses reminds us that even in this era centuries ago, road transport played an essential role in connecting communities and facilitating movement within cities like London. The lithograph's vibrant colors bring life to every detail - from the horses pulling carriages to each meticulously designed building along the avenue. Louis Haghe's masterful composition transports us back to 19th century England and invites us to immerse ourselves in its rich history and culture. This artwork captures not only a specific moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to how education was valued during that period with the inclusion of Indigent Blind School within such idyllic surroundings. A true treasure preserved by Heritage Images for all admirers of art and history alike
