EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th-century London. The image showcases the Royal Exchange, a symbol of commerce and wealth in the City of London. Designed by Edward Jerman, this second iteration replaced the original building destroyed during the devastating Fire of London in 1666. The grandeur of the Royal Exchange is evident as we gaze upon its impressive architecture. The cupola atop the building adds an elegant touch to its exterior, signifying its importance as a center for trade and finance. Surrounding it are other buildings that contribute to the city's prosperous atmosphere. As we look closer at this monochrome scene, we can almost imagine ourselves walking along Cornhill Road, witnessing business transactions taking place on every corner. This location was undoubtedly frequented by wealthy individuals who sought opportunities for investment and economic growth. The print captures not only a specific moment in time but also conveys a sense of history and progress. It serves as a reminder of how cities evolve over centuries while still retaining their core values and purpose. Through this photograph, W Angus skillfully transports us back to early 19th-century Britain, allowing us to appreciate both its architectural beauty and historical significance.
