EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to Field Lane, a bustling street in Clerkenwell, London around 1840. The exact creator of this intriguing image remains unknown, but its historical significance cannot be denied. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to a bygone era filled with the charm and character of Victorian England. The scene depicts an architectural marvel as rows of buildings line both sides of the avenue. Each structure tells its own story, showcasing the unique craftsmanship and design prevalent during the 19th century. People from all walks of life can be seen going about their daily routines - shopkeepers tending to their businesses, pedestrians strolling along the road, and workers engaged in various occupations. Field Lane's transformation into Farringdon Road is yet to come at the time this photograph was taken. However, even then it exuded a sense of energy and vibrancy that would continue throughout history. This image was originally featured in "Old and New London" a publication by Walter Thornbury that delves into the rich tapestry of London's past. As we admire this monochrome masterpiece today, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its ability to transport us back through time. It serves as a reminder of how cities evolve over centuries while still retaining echoes of their former selves.
