EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of the exterior of the British Museum on Great Russell Street in London, taken in 1887. The British Museum, a magnificent architectural masterpiece, was constructed between 1823 and 1852 in a Classical style by renowned architect Sir Robert Smirke. The photograph showcases the neoclassical features of this iconic building, with its impressive portico adorned with towering pillars that exude elegance and sophistication. As one gazes upon this image, they are transported back to Victorian England, where art and culture flourished. Located in the heart of Bloomsbury, this cultural landmark stands as a testament to Britain's rich history and artistic heritage. Its colonnade stretches along Great Russell Street, inviting visitors from all walks of life to explore its vast collection. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of timelessness to the scene while highlighting intricate details such as columns and architectural elements that make this structure truly remarkable. As we admire this print captured by an unknown creator underlines how important it is for us to preserve our national treasures like the British Museum for future generations.
