EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving transports us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the grandeur of the new Houses of Parliament in Westminster, London. The focal point of this print is undoubtedly the iconic clock tower that would later become known as Big Ben. Standing tall and proud amidst the parliament buildings, its intricate architecture commands attention. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, capturing not only the physical structure but also conveying a sense of timelessness and significance. The towering presence of the clock symbolizes more than just a functional timepiece; it represents democracy, governance, and history unfolding within these hallowed walls. Published in the Illustrated London News on April 11th, 1857, this engraving has stood as a testament to British heritage for over a century. Its inclusion in private collections further highlights its value as an artistic masterpiece. As we gaze upon this remarkable image today, we are reminded of how structures like these transcend their mere physical existence. They become symbols ingrained in our collective consciousness – emblems that define cities and nations alike. This print serves as both an homage to architectural brilliance and a reminder of our shared history. Through Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can continue to appreciate this stunning representation of one of London's most recognizable landmarks – forever frozen in time for future generations to admire and cherish.
