EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Removal of the bell for the Great Clock of Westminster Palace" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image showcases a bustling scene outside the iconic Westminster Palace in London during the 19th century. In this snapshot, we witness a hive of activity as men and women gather around to witness an extraordinary event - the removal of the bell for the Great Clock. Towering above them, horse-drawn carriages wait patiently while workers carefully lower the colossal bell from its lofty position within Parliament's clock tower. The sheer size and weight of this magnificent bell, which would later be known as Big Ben, is evident from both its scale and how it dwarfs those who surround it. Crowds have gathered to marvel at this engineering feat that will soon become one of London's most recognizable landmarks. As we observe this historical moment frozen in time, we can't help but feel captivated by both the grandeur of Westminster Palace itself and by witnessing ordinary people coming together to witness something extraordinary. This print serves as a reminder not only of architectural brilliance but also highlights our fascination with monumental achievements throughout history. With every detail meticulously captured by English School artists, this engraving allows us to step back into Victorian-era London and immerse ourselves in an atmosphere filled with excitement, awe, and anticipation for what lies ahead.
