EDITORS COMMENTS
The Royal Exchange, City of London, 1816. A captivating print that takes us back to the bustling heart of 19th century England. This remarkable artwork by W Wallis showcases the interior view of the second Royal Exchange, a magnificent building designed by Edward Jerman. Standing proudly as a symbol of finance and trade, it replaced the original structure destroyed in the devastating Fire of London in 1666. In this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported to a time when merchants and traders gathered within these grand walls to conduct their business affairs. The courtyard is adorned with towering pillars that exude elegance and strength, while men engage in animated conversations amidst this architectural marvel. The print captures not only the physical beauty but also the spirit of an era defined by commerce and ambition. Each column represents countless transactions made within its walls, shaping both individual fortunes and national prosperity. It is worth noting that this iconic landmark met its own tragic fate when it succumbed to fire in 1838. However, through prints like these preserved by The Print Collector collection curated by John Preston Neale, we can still appreciate its historical significance today. This image serves as a testament to Britain's rich heritage and reminds us of how architecture can shape our society's identity.
