EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the bustling cityscape of Fleet Street in London, circa 1820. The artist behind this remarkable piece is James Findlay, who skillfully captures the essence of this vibrant avenue. Nos 103-104 Fleet Street takes center stage in the image, with their impressive facades standing tall against the backdrop of a rapidly growing metropolis. The premises of two prominent establishments are prominently featured within these buildings: the Sunday Times and Metropolitan and Provincial Defence Association. These institutions played significant roles in shaping communications and defending interests during this era. Findlay's watercolour technique brings life to every detail, from the colorful exteriors to the busy road filled with horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians going about their daily routines. This snapshot into nineteenth-century London provides a glimpse into an era when print media was at its peak. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this historical gem offers viewers a chance to step back in time and witness how printing presses operated outside these iconic structures. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of technology while honoring our rich heritage.
