EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print captures a momentous occasion in history - HRH the Prince of Wales at Croydon, opening the New Municipal Building on 19 May. The lithograph, part of the "Sketches in and about Croydon" collection by an anonymous English School artist from the 19th century, showcases the grandeur and architectural brilliance of this significant structure. In this image, we see HRH the Prince of Wales standing tall amidst a crowd of politicians and dignitaries. The town hall's impressive facade serves as a majestic backdrop to this historic event. Every detail is meticulously captured, from the intricate guard room to the ornate grand staircase leading up to Mr F T Edridge's office. The photograph also offers glimpses into other notable features within Croydon's municipal building. We catch sight of Queen Elizabeth's pew and Archbishops Palace through one of Oriels windows, adding an air of regality to this already magnificent scene. This engraving was originally published in The Illustrated London News on 23 May 1896, showcasing its significance even during that time period. Now preserved in a private collection but made accessible through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, it allows us to relive this historical moment with awe-inspiring clarity. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back to that day when HRH the Prince of Wales graced Croydon with his presence and inaugurated what would become an iconic symbol
