EDITORS COMMENTS

This satirical engraving, originally published in Punch magazine on April 21,1888, humorously highlights the perpetual problem of traffic congestion that plagued the city even back then. The image depicts a chaotic scene with horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians crammed together on a crowded street. The artist's caricatured style adds an element of satire to this transportation dilemma, emphasizing the absurdity of London's traffic situation during this era. As we observe this heritage image partnership print by an unknown creator, it becomes evident that Londoners have long struggled with navigating their way through busy thoroughfares.
