EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling Borough High Street in London, circa 1830. The artist, G Yates, skillfully captures the essence of this vibrant street scene with remarkable detail and color. In the foreground, we see Paine and Simpsons comb makers shop, a testament to the craftsmanship that was highly valued during this era. Adjacent to it is an inviting alleyway leading to the Ship Inn Yard, hinting at hidden stories waiting to be discovered within its cobblestone pathways. Further down Borough High Street stands a charming fancy goods shop, showcasing an array of exquisite items that would have enticed passersby. The tall buildings lining both sides of the street exude character and history as they stand proudly against time. This watercolor painting not only showcases the architectural beauty of Southwark but also provides glimpses into daily life in 19th-century London. It invites us to imagine what it must have been like for those who lived and worked along this historic road. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this piece serves as a window into a bygone era—a snapshot frozen in time that allows us to appreciate both the artistry of G Yates and gain insight into occupations and professions prevalent during this period.
