EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the present state of the iconic British Museum in all its grandeur. Taken from The Illustrated London News on September 27th, 1845, this engraving showcases the museum during a significant period of construction. The image transports us back to a time when builders and craftsmen were diligently working on transforming this architectural marvel into what we know today. Scaffolding surrounds the building, showcasing the intricate timber framework that supports it. Logs are scattered around as evidence of ongoing construction efforts. The Victorian architecture is prominently displayed, with Sir Robert Smirke's vision coming to life before our eyes. The gateway stands tall and proud, inviting visitors into a world filled with knowledge and history. Located in Bloomsbury, London, this photograph not only captures a moment in time but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination. It reminds us that even great landmarks like the British Museum had humble beginnings as mere building sites. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder, we can't help but appreciate how far we have come since that day in 1845. This image allows us to reflect on both our past achievements and our boundless potential for growth and progress in the future.
