EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Aldgate High Street in London, circa 1869. The artist behind this masterpiece is JT Wilson, who skillfully captures the essence of this vibrant cityscape. In the foreground, we see a charming view of the Turks Head Inn, a popular establishment at that time. Its striking architecture stands out amidst the surrounding buildings and draws our attention with its inviting presence. Figures and a cart populate the street, giving us a glimpse into daily life during this era. The color palette used by Wilson adds depth and richness to the scene, allowing us to imagine what it would have been like walking along these historic streets over a century ago. The watercolour technique brings out subtle details in each building's exterior and highlights their unique characteristics. Located near Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this image showcases not only an iconic location but also serves as a testament to London's rich history. It transports us back in time to witness firsthand how much has changed while reminding us of the enduring charm that still exists within these ancient streets.
