EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by John Tallis takes us back to the bustling streets of St Martins le Grand, the General Post Office, and Aldersgate Street in 1838. The detailed print showcases a snapshot of London's vibrant cityscape during the Georgian era. As we delve into this historical image, our eyes are drawn to the magnificent architecture that lines these streets. The neo-classical facades of buildings stand tall and proud, showcasing intricate details and grandeur. Each terrace tells its own story, with businesses like Batty, Melville & Co stationers at number 174 on Aldersgate Street or Bull & Mouth Inn at number 11 on St Martins le Grand. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable as he captures not only the buildings but also includes various establishments that were part of everyday life in this thriving metropolis. From coffee houses like G Chisletts and Williamss to Robinsons uniforms and tailor shop, each business adds depth and character to this lively scene. To further enhance our understanding of this area's layout, a map is included on the right margin while Maws surgical instrument manufactory graces the left margin. These additional elements provide valuable context for viewers interested in exploring London's past. Through Tallis' skillful handiwork, we are transported back in time to witness an era filled with architectural splendor and commercial activity. This engraving serves as a visual testament to London's rich history while offering glimpses into daily life during this transformative period.
