EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand coloured engraving captures the bustling scene of Charing Cross, London in 1865. The intricate details of the Eleanor Cross monument in the foreground, the grand Charing Cross Hotel to the right, and the newly opened Charing Cross Station to the left provide a glimpse into Victorian era London.
The engraving by H. Adlard beautifully showcases the architectural marvels of that time, with ornate buildings and bustling railway activity. The Clermont Hotel, known as London's first railway hotel, stands proudly next to the station building.
Charing Cross was a hub of transportation and commerce in 19th century London, connecting people from all walks of life. The new Eleanor cross erected outside Charing Cross railway station adds a touch of historical significance to this vibrant cityscape.
As you gaze upon this print, you can almost hear the sounds of steam engines chugging along and see passengers rushing to catch their trains. It is a snapshot frozen in time that transports you back to an era when London was on the cusp of modernization.
This print is not just a piece of art but also a window into history, allowing us to appreciate how far we have come while cherishing the rich heritage that still defines this iconic city.
