EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning image, titled 'The Old Post Office, Lombard Street, 1800,' is a captivating glimpse into the rich history of London's financial district. Captured by an unknown photographer over two centuries ago, this print from Mary Evans Picture Library offers a rare and intriguing look at one of the city's most iconic landmarks before its transformation into a modern postal service center. The Old Post Office, located on the historic Lombard Street, was a significant building in its time. Its grand façade, with its tall, arched windows and intricate stonework, exudes an air of importance and authority. The building's symmetrical design and classical architecture reflect the city's commitment to order and tradition. The scene is set against the backdrop of a bustling London street. Horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians fill the narrow, cobblestone street, creating a sense of energy and activity. The Old Post Office stands proudly at the end of the street, a beacon of communication and connection. The print also offers a glimpse into the fashion and social norms of the time. The well-dressed gentlemen and ladies, with their tall hats and elegant attire, add to the overall sense of elegance and refinement. The presence of a street urchin, however, serves as a reminder of the social disparities that existed in London during this period. This image is a precious reminder of London's history and the evolution of its postal service. It invites us to imagine the stories and secrets that were exchanged within its walls and the role it played in connecting people across the city and beyond. The Old Post Office, Lombard Street, 1800, is a testament to the power of communication and the enduring allure of London's past.
