EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the gritty streets of Field Lane, Clerkenwell, London in the mid-19th century. Stepping into this scene is like stepping into the pages of Charles Dickens's iconic novel, Oliver Twist. Known as a notorious center for fences or receivers of stolen property, Field Lane was teeming with intrigue and crime. The engraving captures the essence of this Dickensian connection perfectly. The shop signs tell their own story: "Scrooge Broker" hints at the miserly character from A Christmas Carol, while "Fagan" looms over a shop selling handkerchiefs - reminiscent of the infamous Fagin who trained young pickpockets. In this bustling street scene, we see men and women going about their daily lives amidst poverty and struggle. Boys playfully dart through narrow alleyways while girls gather together near market stalls. The signboards are painted with Western script advertising various goods available in these humble shops. This print transports us back to an era where life was tough but full of character. It serves as a reminder of both the hardships faced by those living in slums like Field Lane and the rich literary history that emerged from such places.
