Cornhill / Street Scene: An Unusual Perspective of 19th Century London's Financial and Political Hub This print, dating back to circa 1810, offers a unique and intriguing view of Cornhill, Lombard Street, and Mansion House in London during the early 19th century. The image invites us to look up the streets, rather than along them, providing a fresh perspective on these historic thoroughfares. Cornhill, with its steep incline and cobblestone streets, was once home to numerous printing and publishing houses, contributing significantly to London's burgeoning literary scene. In this print, we can see the grandeur of the buildings at the end of the street, their facades adorned with intricate architectural details and tall chimneys that belied the industrious activity within. Lombard Street, famous for its financial institutions and the birthplace of the London Stock Exchange, is depicted in this print as a bustling hub of commerce and trade. The street's steep incline and narrow width are evident, making it a challenge for the horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians navigating their way up and down. Mansion House, the official residence of the Lord Mayor of London, stands proudly at the end of the print, its grandeur a testament to the city's wealth and power. The print's unusual perspective allows us to appreciate the building's impressive architecture and the intricate details of its ornate windows and balconies. This print provides a fascinating glimpse into London's social and economic landscape during the 19th century, offering a unique perspective on the city's historic streets and the people who inhabited them.
