EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of London in 1829. The image showcases the iconic General Post Office, located on the east side of St Martins le Grand. Standing tall amidst a sea of buildings, it offers a glimpse into the city's rich history and vibrant street life. In the foreground, a man proudly holds up a sign advertising coaches to all parts of the kingdom, highlighting the importance of transportation during this era. The street is alive with activity as stage coaches arrive and depart from their journeys across England. This scene captures an era when communication was primarily reliant on mail services and physical travel. The artist behind this remarkable piece is CJ Emblem, whose attention to detail brings every element to life. From St Pauls Cathedral towering in the background to the Bull and Mouth Inn nearby, each building adds its own charm to this historic setting. As we admire this engraving from Guildhall Library and Art Gallery's collection, we are transported back in time to witness not only architectural marvels but also glimpses into religious practices with churches dotting the landscape. It serves as a reminder that even amidst progress and development, religion played an integral role in people's lives. This monochrome masterpiece by Thomas Allom encapsulates both beauty and historical significance within its frame—a true testament to London's past as well as its enduring spirit.
