EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving captures the grandeur and significance of the "Opening of the New Coal Exchange" in 19th century London. The print, part of a private collection, showcases a momentous event that marked an important milestone in the city's history. The scene is set at Custom House Quay, where a bustling crowd has gathered to witness this remarkable occasion. The focal point is undoubtedly the magnificent new Coal Exchange building itself, standing proudly against the backdrop of London's skyline. Its architectural elegance and intricate detailing are beautifully depicted in this artwork. Intriguingly, amidst all the pomp and ceremony surrounding this event, we catch sight of Prince Albert himself arriving by barge. His presence adds an air of regality to an already majestic scene. Tugboats and other vessels dotting the river Thames further emphasize the importance of water transport during that era. The artist skillfully captures not only significant landmarks but also everyday life along the quay. Boats filled with goods and people going about their daily activities provide a glimpse into London's vibrant maritime trade industry. This enchanting engraving from Bridgeman Images transports us back in time to experience firsthand one of London's most memorable moments. It serves as a testament to both historical events and artistic talent while reminding us how far we have come since those industrious days on Custom House Quay.
