EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Custom House" in all its grandeur, as captured by Thomas Shotter Boys in 1842. The image beautifully depicts the neo-classical building standing proudly against the London skyline. The vibrant colors of this lithograph bring to life every intricate detail of the architecture. In the foreground, we see the bustling waterfront with a crane and various boats docked at the wharf. The presence of an official carriage suggests that important business transactions took place within these walls. This historic landmark served as a hub for customs and banks, symbolizing London's economic power during the Victorian era. The spire of St Magnus Church stands tall beside The Custom House, adding a touch of religious significance to this urban landscape. It is fascinating how this image captures both architectural marvels side by side. As we gaze upon this scene, it transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine what life was like along the Thames Riverfront over a century ago. From tax collection to trade negotiations, countless stories unfolded within these walls. This remarkable photograph print from Fine Art Finder serves as a testament to our rich history and reminds us of London's enduring legacy as a global financial center.
