EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent "Commerce a001171" statue, an iconic symbol of trade and prosperity. Standing proudly on the Port of London Authority building in Trinity Square, City of London, this masterpiece was crafted by C L J Doman. The building itself is a testament to architectural brilliance, having been meticulously constructed between 1912 and 1922 under the guidance of Sir Edwin Cooper. The statue's intricate details are beautifully captured by S W Rawlings' lens, highlighting its grandeur against the backdrop of bustling city life. With her outstretched arm holding scales and cornucopia overflowing with abundance, Commerce personifies the spirit of commerce that once thrived within these walls. For nearly six decades, this historic structure served as the headquarters for the Port of London Authority until it changed hands in 1971. Today, it stands as a reminder of London's rich maritime history and its pivotal role in global trade. Rawlings' photograph not only immortalizes this remarkable work of art but also transports us back in time to an era when ships filled these waters and international trade flourished at every corner. It invites us to marvel at both human ingenuity and artistic expression while contemplating how commerce has shaped our world throughout centuries. As we gaze upon this striking image, let us appreciate the enduring legacy left behind by those who built empires through trade - forever etched into stone on Trinity Square's majestic facade.
