EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the birthplace of renowned English poet and physician, Mark Akenside. The image showcases Akensides butchers shop in Newcastle upon Tyne, circa 1760. Stepping into this historical scene, we are transported to a bustling street filled with men and women going about their day. The focal point of the photograph is the quaint butcher's shop itself, adorned with rustic signage displaying its name. A horse-drawn carriage stands nearby, perhaps waiting for its owner to complete their shopping. The presence of both men and women suggests that this was a gathering place for locals from all walks of life. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, it becomes evident that this street served as more than just a retail space; it was an integral part of the community's daily life. From conversations shared between neighbors to transactions taking place at the counter, one can almost hear the lively chatter permeating through the air. The Hulton Archive has masterfully captured not only a physical location but also an essence – an atmosphere steeped in history and culture. This evocative image invites us to reflect on how our surroundings shape our experiences and inspire creative minds like Mark Akenside's.
