EDITORS COMMENTS
Saturday Night at a Pawnbrokers (litho) captures the bustling atmosphere of a London pawnbroker's shop in the late 19th century. This print by Edward R. King, an artist active during the late 1800s and early 1900s, offers a glimpse into the world of pawnbroking and its role in society. The scene depicts a lively Saturday night, when people from all walks of life gather at the pawnshop to either pawn their belongings or secure loans against them. The engraving showcases the diverse clientele that frequented these establishments, highlighting both their desperation and resilience. Edward R. King's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this lithograph. From the worn-out expressions on customers' faces to the cluttered shelves filled with various items waiting for redemption, each element tells a story of struggle and survival. This artwork was originally created as an illustration for Living London edited by George Sims in around 1900, providing readers with an authentic visual representation of everyday life in Victorian-era London. As we gaze upon this historic print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how individuals navigated financial hardships through pawning their possessions on Saturday nights – a poignant reminder of human perseverance amidst adversity.
