The Old India Office, London 1803
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century London. The image showcases the grandeur of East India House, the headquarters of the renowned East India Company. This architectural masterpiece was extended by Henry Holland and Richard Jupp between 1796 and 1800, becoming an iconic landmark in Leadenhall Street. The photograph captures the essence of history with its aged appearance, transporting us to a time when this magnificent building stood tall against the backdrop of a busy cityscape. The monochrome tones add depth and character to every intricate detail, from the ornate pediment above the entrance to the elegant portico that welcomes visitors. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of how literature and art intertwine with historical landmarks. The presence of people on the avenue adds life to this otherwise static scene - men dressed in formal attire walk alongside ladies adorned in fashionable gowns, creating a vivid contrast against their surroundings. Although demolished in 1861, "The Old India Office" continues to captivate our imagination through prints like these. It serves as a reminder not only of London's rich architectural heritage but also its significant role during an era marked by exploration and trade. This print from "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" by Edmund Ollier allows us to appreciate both artistry and history simultaneously while honoring an unknown creator who has preserved this moment for generations to come.
