EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, created by the talented artist John Boydell in the 18th century, transports us back to New Palace Yard in London around 1750. The scene depicted is none other than the grand entrance to Westminster Hall, bustling with figures and traffic on the street. The architectural beauty of this era is showcased through the intricate details of the buildings that surround Westminster Hall. These structures stand as a testament to Britain's rich history and its significant role in shaping politics during this time. The Houses of Parliament, also known as the Palace of Westminster, dominate the skyline with their majestic presence. As we delve into this monochrome masterpiece, our eyes are drawn towards a horse-drawn carriage navigating its way through the busy streets. This mode of transportation was commonplace during that period and adds an authentic touch to Boydell's engraving. Located within Guildhall Library and Art Gallery today, this artwork serves as a window into England's past - a snapshot frozen in time capturing not only architecture but also daily life in 18th-century London. It reminds us of how transport played an essential role in connecting people from all walks of life within this vibrant city. Let us cherish this remarkable piece for what it truly represents: a glimpse into history where art meets politics, architecture intertwines with culture, and ordinary lives merge with extraordinary surroundings.
