Two stockbrokers seen here walking through the City of London in their silk hats
Two stockbrokers seen here walking through the City of London in their silk hats. The Stock Exchange was shut and the chairman of the exchange had ordered no trading so the stockbrokers and traders reverted to buisness practices of 200 years ago and met and traded in overseas stocks from the numerous coffee houses that are dotted around the city. 20th November 1967

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Two stockbrokers seen here walking through the City of London in their silk hats" we are transported back to a momentous day in history. It was the 20th of November, 1967, when an unprecedented event unfolded in the financial heartland. The Stock Exchange had come to a standstill, as its chairman had ordered a halt on all trading activities. Amidst this unusual scenario, these two distinguished gentlemen can be seen strolling purposefully through the bustling streets of London. Clad in their formal attire - overcoats, ties, and top hats - they exude an air of sophistication that harks back to bygone eras. With no access to traditional trading platforms, these resourceful stockbrokers resorted to business practices reminiscent of two centuries ago. They sought refuge in the numerous coffee houses scattered across the city where traders would gather long before modern technology revolutionized finance. This photograph captures not only a unique moment frozen in time but also symbolizes resilience and adaptability within the world of finance. As they navigate through uncertain times with determination etched on their faces, these businessmen remind us that even amidst disruption and change, innovation can emerge from unexpected places. Preserved by Waters' lens for posterity's sake, this image serves as a reminder that history often repeats itself; it is our ability to learn from it that sets us apart.
