EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur and history of The Sir Paul Pindar, located on Bishopsgate Street in London. Taken around 1878 by Alfred Bool and John Bool, this image showcases the intricate architecture of this iconic building. Originally built in 1597 as the residence of Sir Paul Pindar, an English merchant and ambassador to the Ottoman Empire for James I, it later transformed into a tavern during the 18th century. Sadly, it was demolished in 1890 to make way for Liverpool St. Station's expansion. However, its facade was preserved and can now be found at the Victoria & Albert Museum. The photograph is part of a series by the Society for Photographing Relics of Old London that aimed to document endangered buildings facing demolition between 1875-87. It provides us with a glimpse into London's past architectural beauty. The ornate carvings on the wooden exterior showcase Jacobean influences while adding an air of elegance to this historic inn. The glazed windows allow natural light to illuminate its dilapidated yet charming interior. As we gaze upon this snapshot from another era, we are transported back in time to witness Victorian-era craftsmanship and appreciate how photography has allowed us to preserve these relics forever.
