EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Westminster, London in 1855. The image showcases Clements Stores, a prominent shop located at the junction of Holywell Street and Wych Street. Standing tall amidst a sea of historic buildings, this architectural gem is a testament to the rich history of British commerce. The scene captures the essence of Victorian England, with people going about their daily lives outside the store. Thomas Hosmer Shepherd's skilled watercolour technique beautifully brings out every intricate detail of this cityscape. From the cobblestone road to the ornate facades lining both sides, every element tells a story. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but imagine what it was like to stroll down these lively streets over a century ago. The vibrant energy emanating from Clements Stores draws our attention as shoppers come and go, carrying parcels filled with treasures from within. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery for generations to come, this photograph serves as an invaluable window into our country's past. It reminds us that even though times may change and cities evolve, there will always be remnants of history waiting to be discovered on every street corner.
