EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Childs Banking House, Temple Bar" takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century London. The print showcases the impressive architecture of this renowned bank building, located in the heart of the City of London. The image depicts a grand entrance adorned with intricate carvings and a prominent crest atop its facade. The strong rooms at the rear are visible through open doors, symbolizing security and trust. As we explore further, our eyes are drawn to various arms and tablets displayed on the walls, representing both strength and knowledge. Intriguingly, amidst this scene stands a child - perhaps an employee's offspring or a young visitor captivated by their surroundings. This inclusion adds an element of innocence to an otherwise serious setting. The composition offers two distinct views: one overlooking Strand Street with its vibrant activity and another capturing Fleet Street view from afar. These contrasting perspectives highlight how this banking house was strategically positioned at a crossroads between commerce and culture. As we delve into history through this artwork, we catch glimpses of references such as Ye Marygold (a nearby tavern), Apollo (the Greek god associated with arts), Ben Jonson (renowned playwright), alluding to the rich cultural tapestry that surrounded Childs Banking House. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate not only the architectural beauty but also provides insight into banking practices during that era while reminding us that even in institutions built for adults' financial affairs, children
