EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this engraving of Peter Robinson Stores in Oxford Street and Regent Street, London, as they appeared in April 1891. This intricately detailed image, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases both the exteriors and interiors of the esteemed department stores, offering a glimpse into the bustling retail landscape of Victorian London. Number 7 and 21 Oxford Street, home to Peter Robinson's flagship store, is depicted with its impressive facade adorned with ornate architectural details and large display windows filled with an array of fashionable merchandise. Across Regent Street, at Number 25, the store's elegant entrance is flanked by tall, columned porticos, inviting shoppers to explore the wonders within. The interiors of the stores are equally enticing, with grand staircases, ornate fireplaces, and spacious sales floors filled with an assortment of goods. Shoppers can be seen browsing through the various departments, from textiles and haberdashery to furniture and home decor. The atmosphere is lively and bustling, reflecting the excitement and allure of shopping during the late 19th century. Peter Robinson Stores, founded in 1850, were renowned for their high-quality merchandise and innovative retail practices, including being one of the first department stores to introduce the concept of 'import houses' – dedicated spaces for showcasing and selling imported goods from around the world. This engraving offers a fascinating look into the history of these iconic stores and the role they played in shaping the retail industry in London during the late Victorian era.
