EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the vibrant atmosphere of Turks Head, Aldgate in London, back in 1883. The English photographer from the 19th century beautifully portrays a bustling street view with an array of shop fronts and residential spaces above. In the foreground, carts carrying barrels add to the lively scene. One notable feature is the City bicycle school prominently displayed alongside the iconic Turks Head establishment. A poster advertising Singers Sewing Machines catches one's attention as well. This image provides a captivating glimpse into daily life during that era. The architecture of this Victorian cityscape is remarkable, showcasing various facades and exteriors of shops and houses. The hanging meat outside a butcher shop adds an authentic touch to this Dickensian scene. Despite being captured over a century ago, this photograph still manages to convey a sense of action and movement on the streets of Aldgate. The busy traffic passing by reflects London's urban energy even in those times. As we delve into history through this image, it becomes evident how much has changed while also recognizing some enduring aspects of British culture. This snapshot serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation capturing everyday life in Aldgate at that time.
