EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Leicester Illustrated" takes us back in time to the year 1882. The engraving, skillfully created by Henry William Brewer, showcases the rich history and architectural beauty of Leicester, England. In this particular scene, we are transported to the interior of a grand building that holds immense significance for the city - the Old Town Hall. Its majestic presence is enhanced by its proximity to St Mark's Church, which stands tall and proud just beyond its walls. The focus of this image seems to be on the Mayor's Parlour within the Old Town Hall. This room exudes an air of importance and elegance with its ornate furnishings and intricate detailing on every surface. One can only imagine the important decisions made within these walls and envision past mayors conducting their duties here. As we delve into this historical moment frozen in time, it becomes evident that Leicester has always been a place where tradition meets progress. The fusion of old-world charm with modern aspirations is beautifully captured in this engraving. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we have access to this remarkable piece from their private collection today. It serves as a reminder of our heritage and offers a glimpse into how far we have come as a society while honoring those who came before us in shaping our beloved Leicester
