Maclure, a name that resonates with the artistic and architectural heritage of London. From Gothic forms applied to furniture and metalwork to stunning decorations for domestic purposes, Maclure's creations in 1867 showcased their mastery of intricate design. The collaboration between Maclure and Macdonald resulted in the breathtaking Dufferin, c1890 - a testament to their ability to merge elegance with functionality. The cloisters of the Merchant Taylors School stood as an awe-inspiring example of Maclure's craftsmanship in 1860. Andrew Maclure, another talented artist bearing the same name, captured the essence of Bow Churchyard in his artwork from around 1860. His attention to detail brought life to this historical site nestled within London's bustling streets. The interior view of St Pauls Cathedral (new) transported viewers back to c1852 when Andrew Maclure skillfully depicted its grandeur. Every brushstroke revealed his deep understanding and appreciation for architecture. Frederic Barnett's design for a duplex low-level bridge in London showcased Maclure's versatility beyond traditional artistry. Their influence extended into engineering projects that seamlessly blended aesthetics with practicality. In Crane Court near Fleet Street, City of London, we catch a glimpse inside the Scottish Corporation through an exquisite interior view captured by Maclure himself in 1860. This image serves as a reminder that beauty can be found even within corporate spaces. Macdonald left his mark on Marble Arch and street trams during 1860 - immortalizing these scenes through his artistic lens. His work highlighted not only architectural marvels but also everyday life intertwined with urban landscapes. Moving forward into more recent times, we witness racing legends like Raymond Mays and Percy Maclure competing at Crystal Palace in their ERA Riley Brooklands cars during 1939. These daredevils pushed boundaries while embodying speed and style on the track.
