EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a bustling street scene in Westminster, London, circa 1790. The view showcases two prominent establishments - the Adelphi Hotel and a hatmaker's shop window, along with the Nottingham manufacturers' shop window. The photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into life during the 18th century in Britain. The architecture of the buildings lining the avenue reflects the elegance and grandeur of this historical period. A horse-drawn carriage can be seen traversing the road, highlighting transportation methods of that era. The vibrant color palette adds depth to this image, bringing to life both the cityscape and its inhabitants. People from all walks of life can be observed going about their daily activities outside these shops - shopping, conversing or simply strolling down this lively street. The Guildhall Library and Art Gallery is credited for preserving this remarkable watercolor artwork which offers an invaluable insight into English society at that time. As we delve into history through this picture, it is important to note that commercial use should not be associated with it. Instead, let us appreciate how it transports us back in time to experience an authentic slice of life in Westminster over two centuries ago.
