The image showcases the iconic Messrs J&R Morleys warehouses, nestled at the corner of Milk Street and Gresham Street. As we peer into this historic scene, our attention is immediately drawn to the horse-drawn vehicles that dominate the street. The charm of this era comes alive as we witness a vibrant array of carriages and wagons traversing through the cobbled road. The skilled artist has expertly captured every detail, from the majestic horses pulling their carts to the intricate architecture of nearby buildings. It's as if time stands still in this moment frozen in ink. As we delve deeper into this visual treasure trove, it becomes evident that William Wallen's lithograph serves not only as an artistic masterpiece but also as a historical document. This print offers us a glimpse into daily life during Britain's industrial revolution—a time when transportation played a vital role in shaping society.
