EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Victorian London. Captured by Augustin Rischgitz, a renowned photographer from the London Stereoscopic Company Limited in the 1890s, this image showcases Cloth Fair, one of the city's vibrant and historic districts. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to an era where horse-drawn carriages traversed cobblestone roads and gas lamps illuminated the way. The scene depicts a view looking east along Cloth Fair from New Court. The street is lined with charming shops that exude an air of old-world charm. Pedestrians clad in elegant Victorian attire can be seen strolling along the sidewalk, their faces filled with curiosity and purpose. It is as if they have momentarily stepped out of history to grace us with their presence. This photograph not only captures a moment but also encapsulates an entire era marked by its distinctive architecture and lively atmosphere. It serves as a reminder of how much our cities have evolved over time while still retaining traces of their rich pasts. Preserved within Historic England Archive's collection, this remarkable image allows us to delve into the lives and stories of those who once inhabited these streets. It invites us to reflect on our own connection to history and appreciate how far we have come since then.
