EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print transports us back to the bustling streets of Victorian London. Taken in 1870, it showcases a significant moment in history - the construction of the new library on Basinghall Street. The image captures the east end of the old library seamlessly merging with Guildhall's south side. The architectural beauty is evident as we observe intricate details adorning both buildings. The monochrome palette adds a timeless charm to this snapshot from another era. British craftsmanship shines through every brick and stone, reminding us of England's rich heritage. As we gaze upon this scene, our imagination runs wild with thoughts of horse-drawn carriages traversing along this avenue. Hoardings surround the building site, hinting at an exciting transformation about to take place within these hallowed walls. The location exudes a sense of grandeur and importance; it is here that decisions were made that shaped not only London but also the entire country. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of how architecture can stand as a testament to history and progress. Let us cherish this remarkable piece capturing Guildhall's evolution while honoring its significance in shaping English society for centuries to come.
