EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur of The Pantheon on Oxford Street in London, which was transformed into offices and stores by Messrs W&A Gilbey. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this image showcases a significant historical landmark that played a pivotal role in the success story of these entrepreneurs. The Pantheon served as a symbol of achievement for Sir Walter Gilbey and his business ventures. It became synonymous with their fortune-making enterprise, as depicted in the illustration for "Fortunes Made In Business, Life Struggles of Successful People" published in 1901. In late Victorian times, alcohol trade thrived, and Messrs W&A Gilbey capitalized on this lucrative market. They built their empire by producing and distributing wines and spirits to meet the demands of discerning customers. This print not only represents their triumph but also highlights the prevailing drinking culture during that era. Beyond its architectural beauty, The Pantheon stands as a testament to entrepreneurial spirit and determination. It symbolizes how success can be achieved through hard work, innovation, and seizing opportunities presented by changing times. As we gaze upon this image from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of both the achievements made within those walls and the broader context of late 19th-century London society—a time when fortunes were made amidst bustling streets filled with ambition and dreams.
