EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving, titled "November - (Old Style) - Hover thro the fog & filthy air" transports us back to the 19th century. Created in 1835 by the renowned artist George Cruikshank, this illustration captures a scene of atmospheric mystery and historical significance. In this image, we find ourselves amidst a dense fog that engulfs everything in its path. The smog-filled air obscures our vision, making it difficult to discern people and objects around us. Men and women can be seen navigating through this hazy atmosphere with caution, their figures partially hidden as they move about their daily lives. The weather conditions are treacherous; visibility is poor due to bad weather and toxic fumes lingering in the air. Dying birds fall from the sky while dogs struggle to find their way through the thick mist. A horse-drawn carriage battles against these adverse elements, symbolizing mankind's determination even in challenging times. Despite these hardships, there is a glimmer of hope present in this historic moment captured by Cruikshank. Hazy sunshine breaks through the foggy veil above, casting an ethereal light on those brave enough to venture out into such conditions. This print belongs to the Historica Graphica Collection and serves as a reminder of how environmental challenges have always been part of human existence. It invites contemplation on our impact on nature throughout history—a timeless message that resonates even today when considering issues like pollution and climate change.
