EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling city of London in the 17th century. The image showcases the iconic Royal Exchange, also known as Byrsa Londinensis vulgo the Royal Exchange, which stood tall and proud amidst the cityscape. With its Italianate architecture and grandeur, it was a symbol of finance and commerce during that era. The etching by Wenceslaus Hollar beautifully captures every intricate detail of this architectural masterpiece. The arcades, porticoes, and bell tower create a harmonious blend of classical elements that exude elegance and sophistication. As we gaze at this historic scene, we can almost imagine ourselves strolling through its courtyard surrounded by cherubs adorning the building's facade. Sir Thomas Gresham's vision for creating a center for trade is brought to life through Hollar's artistry. This print serves as a reminder of London's rich heritage as an international hub for business and finance. Displayed in monochrome tones, this photograph evokes a sense of nostalgia while highlighting the timeless beauty of this landmark. It is not just an image; it is a window into history itself. As we admire this remarkable piece from Heritage Images at The Met Museum, let us appreciate how art has preserved moments like these for generations to come.
