EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and chaotic print captures the essence of Mayhews Great Exhibition in London, 1851. The color etching by George Cruikshank showcases a bustling scene filled with crowds of people from all walks of life. It is evident that this event was a popular attraction for both locals and tourists alike. The image depicts a street scene at Regent Circus, where the exhibition took place. The streets are blocked and jammed with carriages, adding to the hectic atmosphere of the Victorian era. Amidst the chaos, visitors can be seen navigating through the crowded space, trying to catch a glimpse of what lies ahead. Cruikshank's satirical touch is evident in this artwork as he humorously portrays the mayhem surrounding this grand exhibition. His keen eye for detail brings out every aspect of city life during that time period - from the architecture to the fashion choices. This print offers us a fascinating glimpse into history, showcasing not only an important cultural event but also providing insight into daily life in 19th-century London. It serves as a reminder of how much our cities have evolved over time while still capturing some universal aspects such as crowded streets and popular attractions that continue to draw visitors today.
