EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century London. The image showcases the Excise Office, a grand architectural marvel located on Old Broad Street in the heart of the City of London. Built in 1838, this imposing structure served as a hub for business and finance during that era. Intriguingly, within the quadrangle of the Excise Office stands a temporary Royal Exchange. This unique sight was created to accommodate ongoing construction work between 1838 and 1844. The woodcut-style photograph beautifully captures this momentary juxtaposition of old and new. As we delve into this snapshot from history, we are transported to an era where men donned top hats while women elegantly strolled along the avenue outside. The presence of both genders signifies their active participation in London's thriving financial district. The anonymity surrounding its creator adds an air of mystery to this remarkable piece. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, it serves as a testament to British craftsmanship and architecture from centuries past. This print is not just a glimpse into our rich heritage; it also offers inspiration for those who appreciate historical artistry or seek insight into life during England's industrial revolution. While commercial use is prohibited, its value lies in preserving our collective memory and celebrating our shared cultural identity through visual storytelling.
