EDITORS COMMENTS
The Custom House - Time of Elizabeth, (c1872). A captivating print captures the grandeur of The Custom House in the City of London during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. This architectural marvel stands as a testament to Britain's rich history and its significance in international trade. Built in the 16th century, this iconic building served as a hub for customs and finance, overseeing transactions that shaped England's economy. Its impressive exterior reflects both English craftsmanship and the influence of Renaissance architecture. The image transports us back to a time when bustling activity filled the streets surrounding The Custom House. Located on the banks of River Thames, it was strategically positioned for easy access to incoming ships carrying goods from around the world. This remarkable photograph is part of 'Old and New London, ' an esteemed publication by Walter Thornbury that narrates not only historical events but also provides insights into everyday life during different periods. Through his lens, we glimpse into professions and occupations that were integral to society at that time. Although created over a century later, this print beautifully captures the essence of 16th-century England. It serves as a reminder of our shared heritage and invites us to appreciate how architecture can transcend time.
