EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Page from Lloyds News, 15 October 1696" takes us back to the bustling streets of 17th century England. The print showcases a significant moment in history, as it was featured in Charles Wright and C Ernest Fayle's book "A History of Lloyds" published by Macmillan in 1928. The image depicts a page from Lloyds News, a publication that played an integral role in the development of insurance and trade during this period. It offers us a glimpse into the underwriters' room at Lloyds, where important decisions were made regarding insuring goods transport and business enterprises. The intricately detailed engraving transports us to an era when England was at the forefront of global trade. It highlights the significance of corporations and free trade for economic growth during this time. As we study this piece closely, we can see individuals engaged in lively discussions while surrounded by maps of Europe and various documents related to insurance. This visual representation allows us to appreciate how these early pioneers laid the foundation for what would become one of the world's leading insurance companies. With its historical context and attention to detail, this print serves as both an educational tool and a work of art. It reminds us not only of our past but also how far we have come in terms of business practices and international commerce.
