EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of the New Post Office in St Martins le Grand, City of London, during the 19th century. Built by renowned architect Robert Smirke in 1829, this imposing structure stands as a testament to British architectural brilliance. The image showcases the exterior of the building, with its impressive columns and pillars that exude a sense of strength and stability. The concept behind this magnificent edifice was to create a central hub for communications and postal services in England. Intriguingly, amidst the hustle and bustle of street traffic filled with horse-drawn carriages and wagons transporting mail for Royal Mail, this post office stood tall as an emblematic symbol of efficiency and organization. It served not only as a vital link between people across the country but also as a landmark within the cityscape. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia to this snapshot from history. As we gaze upon it today, we are transported back to a time when road transport played an essential role in connecting communities throughout Britain. This remarkable print serves as both a visual reminder of our past and an homage to Robert Smirke's architectural genius. It is truly fascinating how one building can encapsulate so much history while remaining timeless in its beauty.
