EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the front of the old East India House in London, taken in 1894. The British East India Company, established in 1600, held significant power over India for nearly two centuries until the Indian Rebellion of 1857 prompted a transfer of administration to the British government. Serving as the company's headquarters from 1648 to 1726, this magnificent building on Leadenhall Street stands as a testament to its influential history. The image captures an era when England's commerce and trade flourished through colonialism and empire-building. The architectural grandeur of the building is evident with its impressive facade that exudes elegance and authority. A sailing ship can be seen docked nearby, symbolizing the vital role played by water transport during this period. The colorized version breathes life into this historical moment, allowing us to appreciate the vibrant hues that would have adorned both the architecture and ships at that time. This print is part of Danvers' collection from India Office Records and was featured in John Richard Green's renowned book "A Short History of English People". As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a pivotal point in history when Britain's influence extended far beyond its shores. It serves as a reminder of how one company shaped nations and left an indelible mark on global trade and politics.
