EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of the Hall of the Carpenters Company in London, circa 1872. The building, constructed by the Worshipful Company of Carpenters, stands as a testament to their craftsmanship and contribution to the city's architectural heritage. However, tragedy struck in 1849 when a devastating fire severely weakened the original structure. In response to this setback, a second Hall was built during the 1870s, showcasing neoclassical design elements that were popular at the time. This image provides us with a glimpse into this new architectural marvel that rose from ashes. The photograph is sourced from "Old and New London" an extensive publication by Walter Thornbury that delves into the history and people of England's capital city. Published by Cassell, Petter, Galpin & Co. , this volume serves as both an informative resource and a visual delight for enthusiasts of British architecture. As we admire this monochrome depiction of Carpenter's Hall against its urban backdrop on Throgmorton Avenue, we are reminded not only of its physical beauty but also its historical significance. The Carpenters Company has long been associated with skilled tradesmen who have shaped London's landscape through their dedication to their craft. This image invites us to appreciate not just one specific profession or trade but also celebrates centuries-old guilds like the Worshipful Company of Carpenters whose contributions continue to leave an indelible mark on our cities' skylines.
