EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1913, offers a glimpse into the bustling heart of the City of London during the early 20th century. The focus of the image is the iconic Royal Exchange building, an architectural masterpiece that has stood as a symbol of commerce and finance in the British capital since its reconstruction in the late 16th century. The view showcases the building's impressive pediment and portico, adorned with intricate carvings and statues, which have withstood the test of time. The grandeur of the architectural design is beautifully juxtaposed with the hustle and bustle of the busy streets surrounding it. Pedestrians can be seen strolling along the pavement, their attire reflecting the fashion trends of the era. Horse-drawn carriages and motor vehicles navigate the narrow streets, adding to the sense of energy and movement. The traffic lights, a relatively new addition to the city's streets at the time, regulate the flow of traffic, ensuring order amidst the chaos. The Royal Exchange has long been a hub of social and economic activity, and this photograph captures the vibrant scene that unfolded daily. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the rich history and culture of Britain during the early 20th century.
