EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a momentous occasion in London's history - the grand opening of the new Royal Exchange on 28 October 1844. The image showcases the elegant architecture of this iconic building, which stands as a testament to British craftsmanship and opulence. At the center of attention is Her Majesty Queen Victoria herself, who graciously accepted an invitation to inaugurate this magnificent structure. Dressed in regal attire, she exudes grace and authority as she presides over the event. This historic moment symbolizes not only the importance of commerce but also highlights Queen Victoria's role as a patroness of arts and culture. The artist behind this engraving, part of the esteemed Peter Jackson Collection, has skillfully captured every intricate detail - from the elaborate façade adorned with statues to its towering columns that evoke a sense of grandeur. The scene is brought to life through meticulous brushstrokes and shading techniques. This print serves as both a historical document and an artistic masterpiece. It invites us to step back in time and witness an extraordinary milestone in London's architectural heritage. As we gaze upon it, we are transported to that day when royalty graced these hallowed halls with their presence. Whether displayed in homes or galleries, this enchanting print sparks curiosity about our past while celebrating human achievements in design and construction. Its timeless beauty continues to captivate viewers today just as it did when first created by English School artists nearly two centuries ago.
