EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1897, offering a glimpse into the exterior view of The Bank Parlour. Created by an unknown artist, this image showcases the remarkable architecture of The Bank of England, which was originally established on Threadneedle Street in London's City district in 1734. The building itself was a masterpiece designed by Sir John Soane between 1790 and 1827. Within its walls, important decisions were made as directors gathered in small private rooms or parlours. This particular photograph is sourced from "Old and New London". Volume I, written by Walter Thornbury and published by Cassell and Company Ltd. , based in London, Paris & Melbourne. The neoclassical style of the bank is evident through its arched windows and grand façade adorned with intricate details. Surrounding the building are lush trees and plants that add a touch of nature to this urban landscape captured over a century ago. As we delve into this historic image, it serves as a reminder of Britain's financial heritage while showcasing the talent behind both architectural design and photography during the Victorian era. With its monochrome aesthetic, this print transports us back to an age where profession met artistry within every frame.
