EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "The Public Record Office" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of London in 1900. The print showcases the magnificent architecture of this historical building, which served as a guardian of important documents for centuries. In the foreground, we see the grand gateway leading to the offices of the Public Record Office on Carey Street. The intricate details and craftsmanship of this structure are truly remarkable. Beyond it lies a meticulously planned street layout, with Chancery Lane stretching out towards Fleet Street and Fetter Street. The image also captures the serene beauty of Cliffords Inn's garden, providing a peaceful contrast to the busy cityscape. St Dunstans Church stands tall in its position nearby, adding an air of tranquility amidst all the hustle and bustle. This engraving not only highlights architectural marvels but also offers insight into how records were stored during that era. Depont safes can be seen lining one side of the building—a testament to their importance in preserving valuable information. "The Public Record Office" lithograph is an invaluable piece from our private collection that allows us to appreciate both London's rich history and Henry William Brewer's artistic talent.
