1. Title: A Glimpse into the Past: Hudson's Bay Company House, Fenchurch Street, London, 1843 This evocative photograph captures the historic Hudson's Bay Company House located on Fenchchurch Street in London during the year 1843. The Company House, a significant architectural landmark, served as the European headquarters for the renowned Hudson's Bay Company, a leading trading organization with extensive operations in Canada. The Hudson's Bay Company, founded in 1670, played a pivotal role in the fur trade in North America. Its London headquarters was the hub of commercial activities, where goods from the New World were traded for European manufactures. The Company House was the focal point of two major annual events - the Easter and September sales. The great sales held at the Company House attracted buyers from all corners of Europe, as they eagerly awaited the arrival of the latest shipments from Canada. These sales offered an opportunity to purchase a diverse range of goods, including furs, pelts, and other exotic items. The bustling scene inside the Company House during these sales was a testament to the thriving trade relationship between Europe and Canada. This photograph, taken in 1843, provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the rich history of the Hudson's Bay Company and its significant role in the transatlantic trade. The Company House, with its grand architecture and bustling activity, stands as a reminder of the economic, cultural, and historical ties that existed between Europe and Canada during this period.
