EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, circa 1800, transports us back in time to the heart of London's legal history: Sessions House at Old Bailey. The Old Bailey, renowned for its criminal trials, is home to this impressive building that served as the headquarters for the quarter sessions and assizes courts. The print reveals a bustling scene on the pavement outside the Sessions House. Horse-drawn carts laden with goods line the cobblestone street, their drivers engaged in animated conversations with passersby. The sound of hooves clattering against the stones and the creaking of cart wheels adds to the lively atmosphere. The Old Bailey itself is a grand, imposing structure, with its tall, arched windows and intricate stonework. The building's design reflects the importance of the legal proceedings that took place within its walls. The railings surrounding the property are adorned with lanterns, providing illumination for those conducting business late into the night. The Old Bailey's architecture is a testament to the historical significance of the site. The buildings in the background, with their intricate details and varying heights, demonstrate the rich architectural diversity of London during this era. The image also showcases the use of gas lights, a relatively new innovation at the time, which contributed to the safety and functionality of the area. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a glimpse of the daily life and bustling activity that surrounded the Old Bailey Sessions House in the early 19th century.
