EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century London. The artist, Walker, skillfully captures the architectural grandeur of this iconic landmark. The image showcases the magnificent archways and intricate details of The Royal Exchange, a symbol of power and wealth in the heart of the British Metropolis. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see businessmen engrossed in their trade within the courtyard. These men are dressed impeccably in suits and top hats, exuding an air of sophistication as they navigate through the stock market frenzy. It is evident that finance and commerce were at the forefront during this era. The print not only highlights the historical significance of The Royal Exchange but also serves as a testament to London's status as a global financial hub even back then. This engraving from "Modern London; Being the History and Present State of the British Metropolis" by Richard Phillips provides us with a glimpse into Edwardian society's daily life. As we admire this monochrome masterpiece by Sir Richard Phillips or Edward Pugh (the exact artist remains unclear), we can't help but appreciate how it encapsulates both artistry and history within its frame. It reminds us that while times may have changed since 1804, some things remain constant – like London's enduring influence on world trade and finance.
