EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Sketches in London and the Suburbs during the Snowstorm, Tuesday, 18 January" transports us back to a wintry day in 1881. Created by Harry Furniss and featured in The Illustrated London News, this artwork captures the essence of a snowstorm that engulfed London on that particular Tuesday. Intricate details bring life to these sketches as we observe various street scenes amidst the snowy chaos. From horse-drawn carriages struggling through slushy roads to pedestrians bundled up against the biting cold, each element tells a story of resilience and adaptation in the face of nature's fury. The artist's keen eye for detail allows us to immerse ourselves in this winter wonderland. We can almost feel the chill seeping into our bones as we gaze at snowflakes gently falling from darkened skies. The soft glow emanating from gas lamps adds an ethereal touch to these wintry scenes. Through this engraving, Furniss not only captures the beauty of London blanketed in snow but also showcases its suburbs with equal charm. This snapshot reminds us that even amidst adverse weather conditions, life continues bustling forward – shops remain open, people go about their daily routines despite Mother Nature's whims. As we admire this historical piece of artistry, let it serve as a reminder that no matter how harsh or unpredictable winter may be, human spirit persists undeterred.
