At the time, this architectural marvel was on the brink of housing some of the most influential entities in illustrated journalism. The Great Eight, as described in The Sphere, was a formidable collective that included The Illustrated London News, The Graphic, The Sphere, The Tatler, The Bystander, The Sketch, Britannia & Eve, and The Illustrated Sporting & Dramatic News. These publications were not only dominant forces in their industry but also shaped public opinion and set trends in society. The addition of an extra storey to the building signified the growth and expansion of these esteemed institutions. The structure, with its grandeur and modernity, was a testament to the progress and innovation of the time. The Beaux-Arts style facade, adorned with intricate details and ornate decorations, exuded an air of sophistication and elegance. The New Home of the Great Eight stood as a symbol of London's rich cultural heritage and its commitment to journalism.
