EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph print captures the grandeur of the Royal Exchange building in Glasgow, Scotland, as it stood in 1832. Originally built as the townhouse of William Cunninghame of Lainshaw in 1778, this architectural masterpiece was later acquired by the Royal Bank of Scotland in 1817 and transformed into the iconic Royal Exchange. Architect David Hamilton's additions between 1827 and 1832 enhanced its neoclassical beauty with Corinthian pillars, a striking cupola above, and a spacious hall behind. The print showcases these exquisite features that make this structure an epitome of elegance. The monochrome aesthetic adds to the timeless charm portrayed in this engraving. It transports us back to a bygone era when finance and commerce thrived within these walls. The image invites us to imagine bustling traders engaging in business transactions under its portico while admiring its majestic columns. David Allen skillfully captured every detail with his artistic vision, allowing viewers to appreciate both the architectural finesse and historical significance of this landmark. As we gaze upon this print today, we can't help but marvel at how it stands as a testament to Glasgow's rich heritage.
