EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of 18th century London. The image showcases the General Post Office, circa 1793, with its grand facade standing tall amidst a backdrop of historic buildings. Adjacent to it is the renowned Lloyd's Coffee House, a hub of communication and commerce during that era. The scene captures the essence of this vibrant city as people go about their daily lives on Lombard Street. Men and women in period attire can be seen strolling along the avenue, adding a touch of life to this monochrome snapshot. The print itself is an engraving from "A History of Lloyd's" a book by Charles Wright and C. Ernest Fayle published in 1928. Edward Lloyd, founder of Lloyds insurance company, established his coffee house here in the heart of London's financial district. This iconic location became synonymous with maritime insurance and played a crucial role in shaping Britain's commercial history. As we gaze upon this historical gem captured by an unknown artist, we are transported back in time to witness the birthplace of one of the world's most influential institutions - Lloyds of London. It serves as a reminder not only of our rich heritage but also how communication and trade have always been at the core of human progress.
