EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases the proposed new buildings of the General Post Office in St Martin's-le-Grand, London. Published in the Illustrated London News on April 9,1870, this double-page spread provides a detailed illustration of the architectural marvels that were envisioned for this important postal hub. The image transports us back to a bustling street scene filled with people and horse-drawn carriages. The artists' impressions beautifully capture the grandeur and intricacy of these proposed structures, showcasing their impressive design and scale. It is evident that great thought was put into creating a functional yet visually stunning space for such an essential institution. As we gaze at this historic print, we are reminded of how vital post offices were during this era as centers for communication and commerce. The General Post Office played a crucial role in connecting people across distances through letters and packages. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of history within their private collection. Through Fine Art Finder, we have been granted access to admire and appreciate not only the artistic talent behind this engraving but also its historical significance as it captures a momentous chapter in London's architectural development.
