EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of London in 1816, showcasing the magnificent exterior of the Royal Exchange (2nd). Painted by the talented artist Daniel Havell, this aquatint artwork captures every intricate detail of this iconic architectural masterpiece. The south front of the Royal Exchange comes alive in vivid color, offering a glimpse into daily life during that time. The scene is teeming with activity as figures go about their business on horse-drawn carriages and coaches. A water pump stands prominently outside, serving as a reminder of simpler times when such amenities were essential. Notably, this image also features a newspaper office and Boltons medicines shop, both integral parts of city life at that period. These establishments add depth and authenticity to an already vibrant depiction. As we explore further into this snapshot from history, it becomes evident that transportation played a significant role in shaping London's landscape. The presence of horses and various road vehicles highlights how people relied on these means for travel and commerce. Preserved within Guildhall Library and Art Gallery's collection, Thomas Hosmer Shepherd's work serves as an invaluable window into nineteenth-century England. It allows us to appreciate not only its architectural marvels but also provides insight into societal norms and economic activities prevalent during that era.
