EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the vibrant city of Westminster in 1795. The artist, Thomas Medland, skillfully captures the grandeur of Horse Guards, an iconic architectural feature that has stood the test of time. The image showcases a bustling scene with horse-drawn carriages elegantly parading through the streets. The monochrome tones add a timeless quality to this snapshot of British history. As we gaze at this engraving, we can almost hear the clip-clop of hooves on cobblestones and imagine ourselves walking alongside these beautifully adorned coaches. Horse Guards is not only a symbol of London's rich heritage but also serves as a reminder of England's influential role during the eighteenth century. Its domed cupola stands tall against the backdrop of an ever-evolving cityscape. Intriguingly, this piece was discovered within Guildhall Library and Art Gallery's collection by John Miller. It offers us a glimpse into daily life during this period – people going about their business outside Horse Guards' imposing facade. As we admire Medland's work, let us appreciate how transportation has evolved over centuries while still maintaining its essential purpose: connecting people to their destinations. This remarkable print invites us to reflect on our own journeys through time and space while celebrating London's enduring charm.
