EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The Bible, Crown and Constitution, Cornhill, London" takes us back to the 19th century in the bustling city of London. The image showcases a trade card belonging to James Asperne, a renowned bookseller whose shop was located at 32 Cornhill. This print served as the frontispiece for the European Magazine, which Asperne owned. The scene depicts a charming Georgian shopfront adorned with various literary treasures. The focal point is undoubtedly the Bible placed prominently on display alongside a regal crown and an open book representing the constitution. These symbolic elements reflect not only Asperne's dedication to literature but also his commitment to upholding traditional values and principles. Cornhill itself is depicted as a vibrant hub of commerce and activity within the City of London. Cowpers Court can be seen in the background, further emphasizing this thriving commercial district. This enchanting print offers us a glimpse into both history and culture. It reminds us of an era when physical bookshops were not just places of business but also centers for intellectual exchange and community engagement. Through this image, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand the charm and significance of James Asperne's esteemed bookstore on Cornhill Street in London.
