EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The General Post Office, 1830" takes us back to the bustling streets of London in the early 19th century. The image showcases a magnificent neoclassical building known as the General Post Office (GPO), designed by renowned architect Robert Smirke and opened in 1829. In this scene, we witness an integral part of British history - the Royal Mails departing from St Martin-Le-Grand. A horse-drawn mail coach stands ready outside the GPO, surrounded by a lively street filled with carriages and pedestrians going about their daily routines. The architectural beauty of the GPO is evident in its grandeur and classical revival style. Its imposing presence dominates the street scene, symbolizing both power and efficiency in communication during that era. As we delve into this remarkable print, we are transported to a time when handwritten letters were meticulously sorted inside this very building before embarking on long journeys across Britain. The image captures not only a significant postal service hub but also serves as a testament to Georgian-era craftsmanship and urban life. With its historical significance preserved through time, this enchanting engraving allows us to appreciate how communication has evolved over centuries while reminding us of our shared human need for connection – even amidst rapidly changing technology.
