EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "The General Post Office - Night, 1891" takes us back to the bustling streets of London in the late 19th century. The artist behind this masterpiece is William Luker, who skillfully captures the essence of city life during that era. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the magnificent General Post Office building located in St. Martins Le Grand. This iconic post office served as London's main hub for postal services from 1829 to 1912. Its grand facade stands illuminated against a backdrop of wet and rainy weather, creating a dramatic atmosphere. As we explore further into the scene, we notice men and women navigating through the busy street on foot or by carriage. Despite the inclement weather, people continue their daily activities with determination and purpose. Religious elements are also present in this snapshot of history; a church can be seen down a nearby lane, reminding us of London's deep-rooted Christian heritage. "The General Post Office - Night" not only showcases Luker's artistic talent but also serves as a window into an important period in British history. It allows us to appreciate how transportation and communication were intertwined within society at that time. This remarkable print transports us back over a century ago when gas lamps illuminated London's streets and its citizens braved all kinds of weather conditions to carry out their daily routines.
