EDITORS COMMENTS
View of the Stocks Market in Poultry, City of London, in the year 1738 (1752) captures a bustling scene from the heart of 18th century Britain. This engraving by Henry Fletcher showcases part of St Stephen Walbrook, with its magnificent equestrian statue of King Charles II taking center stage. The image transports us back to a time when religion played a significant role in daily life, as people go about their business selling goods on the streets. The market traders can be seen setting up their stalls along the avenue, offering various wares to passersby. Horses and horseback riders navigate through the crowd, adding an air of liveliness to this snapshot of city life. Joseph Nichols skillfully captures every detail with his intricate engravings. This historical print is housed at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, serving as a window into both the architectural beauty and vibrant trade that characterized London during this era. It offers viewers a glimpse into how commerce thrived amidst religious landmarks such as St Stephen's Church. As we admire this monochrome masterpiece, let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also its ability to transport us back in time - reminding us that even centuries ago, markets were essential hubs for economic activity and social interaction.
