EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the bustling streets of Cornhill, Lombard Street, and King William Street in the City of London back in 1837. The image showcases a snapshot of history with remarkable detail. On the left side, we catch a glimpse of the iconic Bank of England building, while on the right stands the majestic Royal Exchange adorned with a statue honoring the Duke of Wellington. The scene is brought to life by an array of figures going about their daily lives - men and women strolling along the avenue, horse-drawn carriages gracefully navigating through traffic, and carts transporting goods from one place to another. This lively street view provides us with a fascinating insight into 19th-century London. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this architectural masterpiece. Every intricate detail is carefully etched in this engraving by James Henry Nixon under Henry Wallis' direction. It's as if we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how people lived during that era. Preserved within these lines are not just buildings or roads but also snippets of British history and culture. This photograph serves as a testament to London's rich heritage and its enduring status as an influential financial hub. A true treasure for those who appreciate both artistry and historical significance alike.
