EDITORS COMMENTS
The East India House, City of London, late 18th century. This print transports us back to the bustling streets of 18th-century London, where the British Empire's influence was at its peak. The grandeur of the East India House is beautifully captured by artist B Green and Samuel Wale. Founded in 1600, the British East India Company held immense power over India for nearly two centuries until it relinquished control to the British government after the Indian Rebellion of 1857. The company's headquarters, located on Leadenhall Street, became a symbol of colonialism and commerce during this period. Designed by Theodore Jacobsen, a merchant with a passion for architecture, East India House was completed in 1729 but underwent extensive renovations in the late 1700s. Its impressive facade stood as a testament to Britain's dominance as a global trading force. This monochrome image showcases not only the architectural beauty of this historic building but also serves as a reminder of Britain's complex relationship with its colonies. It stands as an enduring symbol of power and wealth that emanated from this very spot. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back in time to witness an era when trade routes were established and fortunes were made within these walls. It is through images like these that we can explore our shared history and reflect upon how it has shaped our present.
