EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "View of Hungerford Stairs, near the market, Westminster, London, 1822" takes us back to the bustling cityscape of early 19th century England. The image showcases a vibrant scene along the River Thames in Westminster. In this snapshot of history by artists Denis Dighton and George Harley, we see a multitude of people going about their daily activities on the riverbank. Boats gracefully glide across the water as they transport goods and passengers to various destinations. The architecture of buildings lining the waterfront adds an air of grandeur to this picturesque view. The Hungerford Stairs themselves stand prominently in the foreground, acting as a gateway between land and water transport. These stairs were vital for embarkation and disembarkation during that era when river travel was one of the primary modes of transportation. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece from Guildhall Library and Art Gallery's collection, it is impossible not to be transported back in time. This print offers us a glimpse into London's rich heritage - its thriving markets, busy riverside activity, and architectural marvels that have stood strong for centuries. Let this evocative image serve as a reminder that even amidst modernization and progress, there are timeless elements that connect us with our past – reminding us where we came from while inspiring future generations to cherish their cultural roots.
