EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the mid-18th century, showcasing the magnificent facade and plan of London's Royal Exchange. Designed by Edward Jarman, this architectural masterpiece unfortunately fell victim to fire not once but twice in its history. The original Exchange was destroyed during the Great Fire of London in 1666, while Jarman's creation met a similar fate in 1838. The image captures the grandeur and elegance of this iconic building, which served as a vital hub for trade and finance within the British Empire. Its neo-classical design exudes sophistication and power, reflecting London's status as a global financial center even centuries ago. Engraved by Anthony Walker from an original work by John Donowell, this archival piece provides us with a glimpse into London's rich historical tapestry. It serves as a reminder of how structures rise and fall throughout time, yet their significance endures. Today, standing proudly on Cornhill is the third iteration of the Royal Exchange. While it may differ from its predecessors in appearance, it carries forward their legacy as an emblematic symbol of commerce and prosperity. Ken Welsh has expertly captured this momentous piece of history through his lens. This vintage print allows us to appreciate both the artistry behind Edward Jarman's vision and the resilience that defines London itself.
