EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1850, providing a glimpse into the grandeur of the British Museum in London. The image, captured by James Findlay, showcases a section of an old wall within the museum premises. With its delicate watercolor strokes on paper, this artwork measures 19 cm in length and is now housed at the London Metropolitan Archives. The British Museum has long been regarded as an iconic institution that holds significant historical and cultural treasures from around the world. This particular photograph transports us to a time when Holborn was bustling with pedestrians strolling along its streets. The portico entrance of the museum stands tall and majestic, inviting visitors to explore its vast collection. As we admire this painting, it's important to note that it represents not only a landmark but also provides insights into Victorian social history. It serves as a reminder of how architecture evolves over time; what once stood proudly may eventually be demolished or transformed into something new. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of art for our enjoyment today. Let us appreciate this snapshot from history and reflect upon the enduring legacy of one of Britain's most renowned institutions – the British Museum.
