EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Glimpse into Liverpool's Past: James Street, Circa 1900 This evocative photograph captures the bustling atmosphere of James Street in Liverpool around the turn of the twentieth century. The image, part of the Boswell Collection, transports us back in time, offering a fascinating glimpse into the city's rich history. The scene is set by the cobblestone street, worn smooth by the passage of countless horse-drawn carts and the feet of pedestrians. A horse and cart, laden with goods, dominates the foreground, its driver skillfully maneuvering the animal through the crowd. The horse's ears are pricked forward, its eyes focused on the task at hand, while the passengers on the cart cling tightly to their belongings. People of all ages and social classes can be seen going about their daily business. A young boy, dressed in a tidy shirt and trousers, walks alongside the cart, his eyes fixed on the horse. A woman in a voluminous skirt and bonnet, her shopping basket balanced precariously on her arm, hurries past, her petticoats swirling around her ankles. A man in a bowler hat and overcoat, deep in conversation with a friend, strolls along the street, oblivious to the photographer's lens. The street is illuminated by gas lamps, their warm, flickering light casting long shadows and adding to the sense of intimacy and nostalgia. A lantern, hanging from a nearby building, casts a pool of light onto the pavement, revealing the intricate patterns of the cobblestones. This photograph is a testament to the vibrant, bustling life of Liverpool's streets at the turn of the twentieth century, a time of change and progress. It invites us to reflect on the city's rich history and the people who shaped it.
