EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic Bank of England in the bustling City of London, circa 1922. The image is taken from the Calendarium Londinense, or the London Almanack for 1923, and showcases a vibrant street scene filled with horse-drawn vehicles. The grandeur of this architectural masterpiece is evident as it dominates Threadneedle Street, standing tall amidst a sea of buildings. Its impressive facade reflects the financial power and influence that Britain held during this era. The etching technique used to create this monochrome artwork adds depth and texture to every detail, capturing the essence of early 20th-century England. This historical gem provides us with a glimpse into an era when money flowed through these streets, shaping not only the economy but also society at large. As we admire this print from Guildhall Library and Art Gallery's collection by artist William Monk, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever - where wagons traverse cobbled lanes while pedestrians go about their daily lives. Let us cherish this snapshot of history; an ode to British finance and architecture that continues to stand strong even today.
