EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "The view and humours of Billingsgate, London, 1736" takes us back to the bustling streets of 18th century England. Created by the talented artist Arnold Vanhaecken, this detailed engraving showcases the vibrant atmosphere of Billingsgate market and wharf in all its glory. In the foreground, we are greeted with a lively market scene. Seafood sellers proudly display their fresh catches while men on horseback navigate through the crowd. Dogs roam freely as a basket carrier skillfully maneuvers his way through the busy streets. One man can be seen indulging in a delicious seafood snack while others enjoy their pipes. To the right of this vibrant street scene lies an interior view of fish stalls. Here, customers can inspect and purchase various types of fish from dedicated vendors who have set up shop within these walls. The image also provides us with a glimpse into transportation along the River Thames. Ships gracefully sail across its waters, showcasing an important aspect of trade and transport during that era. With its intricate details capturing both human activity and aquatic life alike, this print offers a fascinating snapshot into daily life in 18th century London.
