EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Victorian London in 1872. Titled "DORE: LONDON, 1872. Dark House Lane - Billingsgate" this wood engraving after Gustave Dore captures a vivid scene from his series "London: A Pilgrimage". In this particular image, we find ourselves on Dark House Lane in the famous Billingsgate area. The atmosphere is filled with energy as men and women go about their daily activities. The narrow alleyway is lined with quaint houses, creating a sense of intimacy amidst the hustle and bustle. The focal point of the image lies at the heart of Billingsgate's reputation – its fish market. A street vendor proudly displays a pile of fresh fish while nearby, an English fishmonger attends to customers' needs. This snapshot offers a glimpse into the vibrant trade that took place in these historic markets. Gustave Dore's masterful engraving technique brings every detail to life, allowing us to appreciate not only the architecture but also the intricate clothing worn by both men and women during that era. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time, immersing ourselves in late 19th-century London's sights and sounds. It serves as a testament to Dore's ability to capture moments frozen in history through his artistic vision.
