EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Custom House from Thames Street, City of London, 1828" takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century England. The artist J Henshall skillfully captures the architectural grandeur of this historic building, which served as a hub for finance and taxation during that era. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see a horse-drawn vehicle passing by the Custom House, reflecting the importance of road transport in facilitating trade and industry. People can be seen going about their daily activities on the busy street, adding life and movement to the scene. The location itself is noteworthy - situated along Thames Street in the heart of City of London, it was an integral part of Britain's shipping industry. This image provides a glimpse into how commerce thrived in this vibrant city during that period. The monochrome aesthetic adds a sense of nostalgia to the photograph while emphasizing its historical significance. It is evident that Thomas Hosmer Shepherd played an essential role as well in bringing this moment to life through his collaboration with J Henshall. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from The Print Collector collection, we are transported back to a time when wagons filled with goods traversed these very streets. It serves as a reminder not only of our rich heritage but also how transportation has evolved over time.
