EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the grandeur of the late 19th century in the heart of London. The image showcases the new council chamber at Guildhall, a symbol of power and decision-making for the City of London. Designed by renowned architect Sir Horace Jones, this architectural masterpiece stands as a testament to his vision. As we delve into this snapshot from history, our eyes are drawn to the intricate details that adorn every corner.

It serves as a reminder that decisions made within these walls had far-reaching consequences for both country and community. W Griggs skillfully immortalizes this moment in time through his monochrome lens, transporting us back to an era where architecture was more than just functional; it was artistry in motion. This print is not merely an image; it is a portal inviting us to witness history unfold within those hallowed
