EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, created by Thomas Picken in 1851, showcases the grandeur of London's Royal Exchange and the Bank of England. The artist skillfully captures a bustling scene on the city streets, with figures, carriages, and omnibuses adding life to this snapshot from the past. The Royal Exchange stands proudly on the left side of the print, its magnificent architecture commanding attention. Its ornate facade is beautifully depicted in vivid color, showcasing every intricate detail. On its right sits the iconic Bank of England building, exuding an air of power and stability. As we delve into this mesmerizing image further, we are transported back to 19th-century London. Horse-drawn vehicles traverse a busy road while elegantly dressed individuals stroll along the avenue. The costumes reflect the fashion trends of that era and add a touch of charm to this historical composition. Preserved for generations at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery in London, George Sidney Shepherd's lithograph allows us to appreciate not only Picken's artistic talent but also provides valuable insight into transportation during that time period. This remarkable piece serves as a window into London's rich history – an enchanting glimpse into a bygone era where commerce thrived amidst architectural splendor. It reminds us how much our world has evolved while celebrating these enduring landmarks that continue to shape modern-day London.
