EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur and significance of The South Sea Company, and its House. Created by an English School in the 19th century, this engraving showcases the iconic architecture and historical importance of this renowned institution. The South Sea Company played a vital role in the booming trade industry during that era. Located in Threadneedle Street, London, its impressive house served as a hub for commerce and finance. The image depicts a bustling court room within the South Sea House where important decisions were made regarding trade agreements with grand junctions, water companies, and other entities involved in South Sea trade. As one explores this intricate engraving further, various emblems representing different regions such as West Middlesex, Southwark, Lambeth, Hampton can be observed. These symbols symbolize their contribution to water supplies for the City of London. Notably known for its involvement in the infamous "South Sea Bubble" which led to financial turmoil at that time; this image serves as a reminder of both prosperity and cautionary tales from history.
