Office of the Board of Trade - scene on Sunday night, 1845. Creator: Ebenezer Landells
Office of the Board of Trade - scene on Sunday night, 1845. Investors rush to lodge railway applications in Whitehall, London. The Legislature having, probably from an oversight, fixed the 30th of November as the last day for the reception of Railway plans, sections, &c. at the Board of Trade, many parties, pressed for time, left the completion of their work to the latest possible period, and, consequently, the vicinity of the office of the Board of Trade...presented a scene of excitement and bustle happily very unusual on the Sabbath...At one o clock the offices were opened, and, during the afternoon, cabs and carriages of all descriptions came down...Having disgorged their freights ot parchment and paper, the cabs drew off, and the depositors exhibited unequivocal signs of joy at the triumphs they had secured. From " Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII

Sunday Night Rush at the Office of the Board of Trade, 1845
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Ebenezer Landells captures a remarkable scene that unfolded on a Sunday night in 1845. The image depicts the bustling atmosphere outside the Office of the Board of Trade in Whitehall, London. Investors from all walks of life hurriedly gather to lodge their railway applications before the looming deadline set by the Legislature. The engraving vividly portrays a sense of urgency as cabs and carriages flood into view, delivering anxious depositors clutching bundles of parchment and paper representing their hopes for future triumphs. Despite being an unusual sight on a Sabbath day, this momentous occasion brought about an undeniable excitement and frenzy to those involved. Landells' meticulous attention to detail allows us to witness men clad in nineteenth-century attire - top hats perched atop heads while coats billow with each hurried step. The crowd swells around them, creating a vibrant tapestry against the backdrop of historic Whitehall. As one o'clock strikes, marking the opening time for offices, anticipation fills the air. The flurry continues throughout the afternoon until every last application is submitted. With satisfaction etched across their faces, these investors revel in their accomplishments as horse-drawn carriages retreat into distance. This extraordinary snapshot provides us with a glimpse into Victorian-era Britain's fervent pursuit of progress through railway investments. It serves as a testament to both human ambition and dedication during times when opportunities were seized upon with unwavering determination.
