VINTAGE FRAMED PRINT 

OF AN EARLY ENGLISH TOWN SCENE 

FEATURING 

HORSE-DRAWN CARRIAGES, 

SHOPS, PERIOD FASHION, 

AND PEOPLE GOING ABOUT 

THEIR DAILY BUSINESS

 Art Work is RIGHT SIDE HEAVY. 

The Left Side almost fades to a background. 

In the Central focal point of the print, 

we can see the different uses of the horse drawn carriage. 

We can see it used to carry passengers, 

to load shopped goods or merchant goods. 

It is also shown as being used to carry something with a shovel on it. 

The art work also depicts the earlier English architecture of mixed styles. 

It features turrets of buildings & churches, chimneys, brick & stone features, 

and exposed timber frames on the exterior of the buildings. 

Some shop signage are also featured 

as well as the goods of the merchants displayed outside their shops. 

This artwork is old, not signed nor dated 

but the scene is very much alive with 

the hustle and bustle of the town of the early settlers. 

It could be of a MEDIEVAL INSPIRATION 

as the scene still features probably gas street lamps. 

Alot of these features are still very much alive in any Historical English Towns. 

It would be a very good day out or a long weekend break 

to explore such towns to explore 

the RICH ENGLISH ARCHITECTURAL & CULTURAL HERITAGE. 

We suggests visiting Hastings Old Town, Rye, Cotswolds, Salisbury, St. Ives, 

GUILDFORD and of course LONDON!
