EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of London in the early 18th century. The image showcases Scotland Yard, a historic police station that has become synonymous with law enforcement in England. Standing proudly against the backdrop of a clear day, this architectural gem exudes grandeur and significance. In the foreground, we see men on horseback, embodying authority and power as they patrol the city streets. These figures represent a bygone era when horses were an integral part of daily life. Their presence adds an air of dynamism to the scene, suggesting constant vigilance and protection. Surrounded by a crowd of background people going about their daily activities, this photograph captures not only the physical structure but also provides insight into society at that time. It serves as a visual testament to London's rich history and its ever-evolving urban landscape. The monochrome aesthetic enhances our perception of this historical moment frozen in time. Every detail is meticulously engraved, showcasing Edward Walford's artistic prowess as well as his dedication to preserving London's heritage through his publication "Old and New London". As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Cassell & Company Ltd's collection, we are transported back centuries ago when Scotland Yard was more than just a name; it was an emblematic institution safeguarding order within Westminster City.
