EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of the General Post Office in St. Martin's Le Grand, London, England during the 19th century. The image showcases a magnificent architectural masterpiece that was an integral part of the city's postal system. The building stands tall and proud, reflecting the architectural style of its time. The General Post Office served as a bustling hub for communication and connectivity in London, symbolizing progress and innovation. Its significance extended beyond mere functionality; it represented a sense of unity and organization within the city. Sadly, this iconic structure met its demise in 1912 when it was demolished. However, through this beautifully detailed engraving by English School from around 1838, we can still appreciate its splendor and historical importance. In this scene from long ago, horse-drawn carriages pass by on cobblestone streets surrounding the post office building. It offers us a glimpse into daily life during that era – a bustling city with people going about their business amidst impressive architecture. As we admire this piece captured by Ken Welsh with his keen eye for detail and composition, we are reminded of London's rich history as well as its continuous evolution into one of the world's most vibrant cities.
