EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph takes us back to the bustling streets of Royal Exchange Square in Glasgow, circa 1895. The image, captured by an anonymous Scottish photographer from the 19th century, showcases the timeless beauty of this iconic location. At the heart of Glasgow's city center, Royal Exchange Square is adorned with a magnificent neo-classical building that once served as the townhouse of William Cunninghame, a prominent tobacco merchant. Today, it houses The Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA), adding a touch of artistic charm to this historic square. Dominating the scene is an impressive equestrian statue depicting none other than the Duke of Wellington. Sculpted by Carlo Marochetti in 1844, this monument stands tall and proud amidst its urban surroundings. The architectural details are truly remarkable; from the pediment above to the grand columns below, every element exudes elegance and sophistication. This snapshot perfectly captures both the majesty of classical design and its harmonious integration into a vibrant cityscape. As we gaze upon this print from our private collection today, we can't help but appreciate how time has transformed Royal Exchange Square while still preserving its rich heritage. It serves as a reminder that even amidst progress and change, certain landmarks continue to hold their significance in shaping our cultural identity.
