EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the grandeur of The New Law Courts in Westminster, London, circa 1878. Designed by the renowned architect George Edmund Street, this magnificent building stands proudly on the Strand and serves as a home to both the High Court and Court of Appeal of England and Wales. Its impressive neo-gothic architecture is a testament to Victorian craftsmanship. Intriguingly captured during a bustling moment, the image captures the essence of city life in 19th century Britain. People can be seen going about their daily routines amidst busy traffic on the surrounding roads. This snapshot offers a glimpse into an era when transportation was dominated by horse-drawn carriages traversing through narrow lanes. The Royal Courts of Justice are steeped in history, having been opened with great pomp and ceremony by Queen Victoria herself in 1882. As one gazes at this print, it evokes a sense of awe for its architectural splendor while also reminding us of its significant role as an epicenter for British law. Preserved within this monochrome engraving from Edward Walford's "Old and New London Illustrated" we are transported back to a time when justice was dispensed within these hallowed walls. It is truly remarkable how this single image encapsulates so many elements: architecture, culture, society, and even transportation - all woven together seamlessly against the backdrop of Westminster's vibrant streetscape.
