EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century London. The image showcases two prominent landmarks - the iconic Bank of England and the newly-straightened Princes Street. As we delve into this snapshot, a vibrant scene unfolds before our eyes. Horse-drawn vehicles gracefully traverse the road, their presence adding an air of elegance to the busy cityscape. Figures can be seen going about their daily routines, engaging in various occupations and professions. Street sellers line the sidewalks, offering their wares to passersby with market stalls filled with goods waiting to be sold. In the distance, we catch a glimpse of The Monument rising proudly against the skyline. This architectural marvel serves as a reminder of London's rich history and stands as a testament to its enduring spirit. The monochrome tones lend an air of timelessness to this engraving by Thomas Higham from Guildhall Library and Art Gallery collection. It captures not only a specific moment in history but also encapsulates Britain's financial prowess embodied by the Bank of England. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, it transports us back in time, allowing us to witness firsthand how transportation shaped urban life during that era. A true treasure for any history enthusiast or admirer of vintage photography!
