EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print "Times of the Day: Noon" takes us back to 18th century London, offering a glimpse into the bustling city life during that era. This hand-coloured engraving by William Hogarth, restored by Thomas Cook and published in 1812, showcases a vivid street scene filled with various characters and their daily activities. In the foreground, we witness churchgoers making their way towards St Giles in the Fields Church. Among them are people from different walks of life - some impoverished individuals struggling with hunger while others appear more well-off. The contrast between poverty and middle-class prosperity is evident as we observe a tavern nearby where patrons enjoy food and drink. Amidst this vibrant setting, our attention is drawn to a wedding procession passing through the streets. The bride and groom stand out amidst the crowd, symbolizing hope for new beginnings amidst challenging circumstances. Children play an important role in this illustration; some can be seen stealing scraps or engaging in mischievous behavior typical of their age. Their presence adds an element of innocence to an otherwise complex urban landscape. This engraving not only captures a specific moment in history but also serves as a social commentary on class divisions and everyday struggles faced by Londoners at that time. It reminds us of how art can provide valuable insights into past societies while still resonating with contemporary audiences today.
