EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "The Bullion Office, Bank of England: A Historical Depiction of English Silver from the Lead Mines of Northumberland" This engraving, hailing from the year 1845, offers a fascinating glimpse into the historical process of silver production and supply in England. The image centers around the Bullion Office of the esteemed Bank of England, where silver was weighed and assayed before being added to the national reserve. The chief source of native silver in England during this era was the lead mines of Northumberland. As depicted in this engraving, a large lump of silver ore, weighing an impressive 2 cwts (centum weight, equivalent to 112 kilograms or 247 pounds), is being prepared for transport to the Bullion Office. The silver ore, shown in its raw form, was a vital component of England's silver supply before the country began importing large quantities of silver from other parts of the world. The engraving, produced by I. & R. Tootal & Co. for the Illustrated London News, is a testament to the historical significance of silver mining in Northumberland and the role it played in England's economy. The large, intricately-detailed image showcases the laborious process of extracting and transporting raw silver ore to the Bullion Office, where it would be transformed into a valuable asset for the Bank of England and the nation as a whole. This print not only offers a glimpse into the past but also highlights the rich history of silver production and the importance of natural resources in shaping England's economic landscape.
