This illustration, titled 'Coal Exchange, London: A March Scene in the Coal Market,' depicts a bustling scene at the London Coal Exchange in 1890.

In the illustration, a group of top-hatted traders can be seen intently engaged in business transactions at their desks. The atmosphere is electric, with the exchange's ornate architecture providing a grand backdrop to the commercial activity.

The illustration, published in the Illustrated London News on March 29, 1890, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past. The traders, dressed in their finest attire, are deeply focused on the task at hand, their expressions revealing a mix of intensity and determination. The coal baskets and other trading paraphernalia scattered around the desks add to the authenticity of the scene.
