EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century City of London. The artist, Thomas Hosmer Shepherd, skillfully captures the grandeur of two iconic landmarks - the Bank of England and the new tower of the Royal Exchange. From St. Bartholomew Lane, we are granted a unique perspective on these architectural marvels that dominated the city skyline in 1828. The east front of the Bank stands tall and imposing, symbolizing financial power and stability. Its intricate details are beautifully depicted in monochrome, showcasing its neoclassical design. Adjacent to it is the newly constructed tower of the Royal Exchange, adding an elegant touch to this historic scene. As we delve deeper into this image, our eyes are drawn towards a lively street scene featuring a horse-drawn carriage navigating through cobblestone roads. This glimpse into daily life reminds us of how transportation has evolved over time. The enchanting charm captured by W. Wallis' engraving transports us back in time as if we were strolling alongside pedestrians on that very day. It serves as a testament to London's rich history and its status as a global financial hub. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery for generations to come, this remarkable piece invites us to appreciate both artistry and historical significance without commercial intent or use in mind
