EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite statues of Commerce and Engineering, which adorn the Prince Consort National Memorial in Kensington, London. Created by renowned sculptors T Thorneycroft and J Lawlor in the 19th century, these magnificent works of art pay homage to two pillars of human progress. The statue depicting Commerce stands tall with grace and elegance, symbolizing the vital role that trade plays in society. With a gentle smile on her face, she holds a cornucopia overflowing with abundance, representing prosperity and wealth. Her presence exudes confidence and ambition as she gazes into the distance, envisioning a future filled with endless possibilities. In contrast, the statue portraying Engineering embodies strength and determination. Standing beside Commerce, this figure represents innovation and technological advancement. With tools in hand – gears symbolizing machinery – he signifies mankind's ability to shape their environment through ingenuity. Together, these statues encapsulate the spirit of progress that defined Victorian-era London. The engraving captures every intricate detail meticulously crafted by English artists who sought to honor Prince Albert's legacy. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from yesteryears' Illustrated London News publication dated July 27th, 1872; we are transported back in time to witness an era where commerce flourished alongside groundbreaking engineering feats. This print serves as a timeless reminder of our collective pursuit for economic growth intertwined with relentless innovation - values still cherished today.
