Description: | Smithfield Market is a wholesale meat market in the City of London. The lavish market buildings shown in Bawden's print were erected in the 1860s by the Corporation of London, which was keen to provide hygienic conditions.
Eric Bawden's strong outlines, repetitive design and contrasting tones capture the building's grand scale.
Bawden created this print for his 'Six London Markets' series. It was printed from a lithograph, which was made by transferring a linocut onto a zinc plate. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Richard Bawden | Subjects: | work Art and Design | Temporal: | 1967 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
