EDITORS COMMENTS
No. 73, Cheapside, 1897: A Glimpse into London's Rich History This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Cheapside in 1897. The focus of this image is No. 73, a magnificent old mansion house that stands as a testament to the architectural genius of Sir Christopher Wren. Built during the late 17th century for Sir William Turner, who served as Lord Mayor in the late 1600s, this grand structure showcases Wren's exceptional design skills. Its elegant facade exudes an air of sophistication and charm that has withstood the test of time. In later years, No. 73 became home to Thomas Tegg, a renowned bookseller whose shop occupied these historic premises. This photograph captures not only a stunning architectural marvel but also offers us a glimpse into the vibrant world of bookshops and publishing in Victorian England. As we immerse ourselves in this monochrome scene, we can almost hear the echoes of footsteps on cobblestone lanes and imagine shoppers perusing through rows upon rows of literary treasures inside Tegg's establishment. Thanks to Walter Thornbury's publication 'Old and New London, ' which documented significant landmarks across Britain at that time, we are fortunate enough to have this visual record preserved for generations to come. Let this print transport you back in time as you explore both the exterior beauty of No. 73 Cheapside and its rich historical significance within London's cityscape.
