EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from Lloyds News, dated 15 October 1696. The engraving, created by an anonymous English School artist in the 17th century, is now part of a private collection. It was later featured as an illustration in A History of Lloyds by Charles Wright and C Ernest Fayle, published by Macmillan in 1928. The image transports us back to the early years of Lloyd's, a renowned insurance company with a rich history dating back centuries. The intricate engraving depicts an atmospheric scene within the underwriters' room at Lloyd's headquarters. Here, traders and businessmen gather to discuss trade deals and negotiate insurance policies for various goods transport ventures. This historical snapshot provides valuable insights into the world of commerce during this period. It highlights the significance of insurance companies like Lloyd's in facilitating free trade and supporting business enterprises across England and Europe. The meticulous detail captured by the talented engraver allows us to appreciate not only the artistic skill but also offers glimpses into life during this time period. This fascinating piece serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of business practices and underscores the enduring legacy left behind by institutions such as Lloyd's throughout British history.
