EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print transports us back to the bustling streets of 19th century London. The artist, John Greig, skillfully captures the grandeur and architectural beauty of the Entrance to Girdlers Hall on Basinghall Street. The image showcases a magnificent building that stands as a testament to British craftsmanship and elegance. Its intricate details are brought to life in monochrome, highlighting the fine engravings adorning its exterior. The door stands proudly at the center of attention, inviting visitors into this historic establishment. Girdlers Hall holds great significance as it represents the prestigious Company of Girdlers - a livery company deeply rooted in English trade history. This guild played an essential role in regulating and maintaining quality standards for girdles (belts), which were highly sought after during that era. As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, we can almost imagine horse-drawn carriages passing by on the cobbled street outside. Thomas Hosmer Shepherd's masterful depiction allows us to appreciate not only the architecture but also provides insight into daily life during this period. Preserved within Guildhall Library and Art Gallery's collection, this print serves as a valuable historical artifact transporting us back two centuries ago when Britain was flourishing with industrial progress and cultural heritage.
