EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of London in 1880. The image showcases "The Griffin" a remarkable architectural structure located in Fleet Street, which was erected to commemorate the historical site of Temple Bar. This iconic landmark served as an entrance gate between the City of London and Westminster. The photograph, captured by an English photographer from the 20th century, is part of a private collection that holds significant historical value. It beautifully captures the essence of early-century London with its rich history and stunning architecture. "The Griffin" stands tall amidst a backdrop of other notable buildings, including law courts, branches of banks like the Bank of England, and Bell Yard. Its presence symbolizes not only London's central location but also its deep-rooted connection to its past. This extraordinary image has been featured in "The West End of Yesterday and Today" a renowned publication by E Beresford Chancellor that explores the city's architectural heritage. Recent photographs credited to Mr Ingle have further added depth to this visual narrative. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, we are transported back in time, allowing us to appreciate both the grandeur and significance that "The Griffin" held for generations past.
