EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 1844 print captures the South-East view of the New Royal Exchange in London during the 1840s, an iconic architectural masterpiece that embodied the spirit of commerce and innovation in the heart of the city. Designed by Sir William Tite and Sir Charles Barry, the New Royal Exchange was a grand replacement for the old Royal Exchange that was destroyed by fire in 1838. The intricate design of the building, with its ornate columns, arches, and intricate detailing, reflects the Victorian era's obsession with grandeur and opulence. The print showcases the impressive facade of the building, with its large arched windows and intricate stonework, which allowed for ample natural light to flood the interior. The New Royal Exchange was not only a symbol of London's commercial prowess but also a hub of social activity. The building housed various shops, offices, and a grand trading floor where merchants and traders from around the world gathered to conduct business. The exchange's location in the heart of the city, near the Bank of England and the Thames, made it a natural gathering place for London's elite and a vital part of the city's economic infrastructure. This print offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when London was the center of the global trading world, and the New Royal Exchange was a testament to the city's entrepreneurial spirit and architectural grandeur.
