EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Historical Relics of the Old East India Company" takes us on a journey back in time to the 19th century. Captured by an English photographer, this print showcases a private collection of artifacts that tell the story of one of the most influential trading companies in history. The image transports us to Leadenhall Street, where we catch a glimpse of East India House, once occupied by the Old East India Company. The architecture is grand and imposing, reflecting the power and wealth amassed by this renowned institution. As we explore further, our eyes are drawn to a mantelpiece adorned with significant relics from its past. Among these treasures is Oliver Cromwell's warrant and Parliament's Great Seal - symbols of authority during turbulent times. We can also see old Crosby House facing Bishopsgate, which played host to important meetings such as the Directors Court Room. The reverse and obverse sides of various historical documents are carefully displayed for all to admire. These artifacts provide valuable insights into how this company shaped British trade across distant lands during its existence from 1621 to 1858. Through this remarkable photograph, we gain a deeper appreciation for both the physical remnants and intangible legacy left behind by the Old East India Company. It serves as a reminder of their influence on global commerce and their lasting impact on British history.
