EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving titled "Whitechapel Turnpike" takes us back to 19th century London, offering a glimpse into the bustling streets and unique modes of transportation during that era. The image showcases a comical scene at the Whitechapel Turnpike toll booth, where travellers would pay their fees before continuing on their journey. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this print. From the swolen legs of weary horses pulling carriages to the amusing expressions on the faces of passengers, it captures both the charm and challenges of travel in those times. The vibrant colours bring life to this snapshot from history, making it an engaging piece for any art enthusiast or history buff. As we observe this engraving, we are transported back in time, imagining ourselves amidst the chaos and excitement of London's busy roads. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, people faced similar obstacles while navigating through urban landscapes. This particular print is part of a private collection and has been preserved by Fine Art Finder. Its inclusion in Look and Learn / Peter Jackson Collection allows us access to these historical treasures that might otherwise be hidden away. Let us cherish such artworks that not only entertain but also educate us about our past.
