EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print takes us back to the bustling streets of London in 1855, showcasing the Metropolitan Cattle Market, also known as Caledonian Market. The artist King skillfully captures an isometric view of this vibrant scene set in Copenhagen Fields, Islington. The market was a hub of activity and commerce during the 19th century, serving as a vital center for agriculture and trade. In this image, we see rows upon rows of buildings that housed various businesses related to cattle and livestock. The architecture reflects the era's grandeur with its intricate details and imposing structures. Animals play a prominent role in this artwork; cattle are seen being herded through the market by farmers and traders alike. Their presence adds movement and liveliness to an otherwise static scene. The color palette chosen by the anonymous artist brings warmth and life to every corner of this lithograph. It transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine what it must have been like to witness such a spectacle firsthand. Preserved at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this piece not only showcases historical town planning but also serves as a testament to London's rich agricultural heritage. It reminds us that beneath our modern metropolis lies a history deeply rooted in trade, industry, and animal husbandry.
