Tempora Mutantur!, 1886 (1891) - A Glimpse into Victorian London's Bustling Streets
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print, "Tempora Mutantur!" by George du Maurier, takes us back to the vibrant streets of late 19th-century London. The scene depicts a bustling avenue filled with horse-drawn vehicles, as men and women traverse the city in their fashionable attire. The artist's keen eye for detail captures the essence of this era's transportation system. A horse bus dominates the foreground, its passengers seated inside or standing on its open upper deck. This public transport symbolizes an age when travel was still a luxury for many but increasingly accessible to all. Amidst the flurry of activity, we see people from different walks of life going about their daily routines. Women in elegant dresses stroll along the sidewalk while men don top hats and suits as they navigate through the crowd. The image exudes a sense of movement and energy that reflects both progress and tradition. Du Maurier's work also carries a touch of satire, typical of his contributions to Punch magazine. Through cleverly placed caricatures and witty details hidden within the scene, he offers subtle commentary on society at large. As we gaze upon this remarkable snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to an era where fashion intertwined with everyday life against the backdrop of London's evolving urban landscape. "Tempora Mutantur!" serves as a testament to how much has changed since then while
