EDITORS COMMENTS
The Guildhall, City of London: A Historic Seat of Power and Tradition This photograph, taken in the 1860s, showcases the breathtaking Guildhall in the heart of London. One of the oldest buildings in the Square Mile, the Guildhall has served as the administrative headquarters of the City of London since at least the mid-12th century. Its rich history is reflected in its architectural evolution, with the present Great Hall being constructed between 1411 and 1430, and later refaced by George Dance in 1788. The entrance depicted in the image exudes an air of grandeur and tradition. The Victorian era, during which this photograph was taken, left its mark on the Guildhall with subtle yet significant alterations. The intricate carvings and ornate detailing on the entrance are a testament to the craftsmanship of the time, while the muted colors and soft lighting add to the image's timeless appeal. The Guildhall's history is deeply intertwined with the city's past. It has been the site of numerous significant events, including the signing of the Articles of Peace between England and Scotland in 1502 and the proclamation of Queen Elizabeth I in 1558. Today, it continues to serve as a symbol of the City of London's rich heritage and enduring resilience. This photograph, part of the Howarth-Loomes Collection held by Historic England Archive, offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to explore the stories and traditions that have shaped the Guildhall and the City of London.
