EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 18th century showcases a remarkable view of East India House, a prominent architectural gem in London. The print captures the grandeur and elegance of this historic building, which stood as a symbol of power and influence during its time. In the foreground, we see a figure standing in front of the majestic East India House, adding depth and scale to the composition. The intricate details of the mansion's facade are beautifully depicted, showcasing its gabled roofline and Elizabethan-inspired architecture. Originally known as Craven House, this magnificent residence belonged to Sir William Craven, Lord Mayor of London. Leased to the East India Company in 1620 before being demolished later on, it paved the way for the construction of East India House in 1726 - an iconic structure that would become synonymous with British trade dominance. The image transports us back to c. 1700 when bustling activity surrounded this historical landmark. It offers us a glimpse into London's rich history and serves as a testament to both architectural brilliance and colonial expansionism. As we admire this enchanting print by Bridgeman Images, let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also reflect upon how buildings like these have shaped our world today.
