EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historic trowel that was used to lay the first stone of the new Royal Exchange on January 17th, 1842. The significance of this momentous occasion is further enhanced by the fact that Prince Albert himself wielded this very tool to mark the beginning of a grand architectural endeavor. The trowel, beautifully etched with ornamental designs, reflects both its era and purpose. Its handle proudly displays the coat of arms and crown, symbolizing royalty and power. This artifact from the 19th century serves as a tangible link to an important chapter in history. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness Prince Albert's contribution to finance and commerce at its finest. The gold accents on the trowel add a touch of elegance, highlighting its ceremonial nature. Preserved within Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this remarkable piece exemplifies heraldry craftsmanship while embodying concepts such as progress and ambition. It reminds us not only of Prince Albert's legacy but also signifies his role as Prince Consort during that period. With every intricate detail captured in stunning monochrome tones, this print invites us to appreciate not just an object but also an entire era defined by innovation and vision.
