EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent East India House, a prominent landmark in 18th century London. The building, designed by merchant and amateur architect Theodore Jacobsen, was completed in June 1729 under the supervision of professional architect John James. The image is taken from Sir Walter Besant's book "London in the Eighteenth Century", published by A. & C. Black Ltd. in 1925. The photograph captures the grandeur of this architectural masterpiece set against a bustling city backdrop. Located on Leadenhall Street, East India House served as the headquarters for the prestigious East India Company during its heyday as one of Britain's most influential trading enterprises. Intriguingly, amidst the lively street scene surrounding East India House, a lady elegantly walks along the pavement with pedestrians passing by her side. This glimpse into daily life adds depth to an already fascinating historical moment frozen in time. The print not only offers a visual feast for architecture enthusiasts but also provides valuable insights into London's financial and trading hub during this era. It serves as a testament to both British ingenuity and artistic craftsmanship that have stood the test of time. As we gaze upon this remarkable image today, we are reminded of how history continues to shape our present landscape while honoring those who came before us - architects like Theodore Jacobsen and John James whose vision brought forth such extraordinary structures like East India House.
