EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Henrietta Grace Baden Powell (nee Smyth) in 1839, offers a glimpse into the historic Trade Exchange building in Antwerp, Belgium. Henrietta, the mother of the renowned British Army officer and founder of the Scout Movement, Robert Baden-Powell, captured this image during her travels in Europe during the 1830s. The Trade Exchange, an ornate and impressive structure, stands proudly amidst the cobblestone streets of Antwerp. Its courtyard, filled with the shadows of the past, is a testament to the rich history of this Belgian city. The Trade Exchange, with its intricately designed windows and grand arches, is a marvel of Victorian architecture. The building's imposing presence and the sense of community it evokes, may have inspired Robert's later work in developing the Scout Movement, which emphasized the importance of association, camaraderie, and personal growth. As Henrietta captured this moment in time, she likely stood in awe of the Trade Exchange's beauty and the bustling activity that once filled its courtyard. The image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when Europe was a hub of commerce and cultural exchange. This photograph, a treasure from the archives of The Scout Association, is a reminder of the enduring legacy of Henrietta Grace Baden Powell and her connection to the historic city of Antwerp.
