EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The New Exeter Change" in 1844, a remarkable London shopping arcade designed by the talented Sydney Smirke. Located between Wellington Street, North, and Catherine Street in Strand, this architectural gem housed ten elegant shops with dwellings above. The arcade's well-proportioned cove and magnificent metal-framed skylight illuminated the space from above, creating an enchanting atmosphere for visitors.
