"The Inside View of the Royal Exchange at London c.1750" is an 18th-century print by the English printmaker and publisher Thomas Bowles (1694–1773). This work is a detailed representation of the interior of the Royal Exchange in the heart of the City of London, an institution that has been the center of commerce in the city since its establishment in the 16th century. The Royal Exchange was founded in 1565 by merchant Thomas Gresham and was officially opened by Queen Elizabeth I.

Bowles's print captures the bustling atmosphere of the Exchange, where merchants and traders conducted business and discussed matters of trade and finance. The artwork is notable for its intricate detail, providing a glimpse into the attire, social interactions, and architectural features of the period. The Royal Exchange itself had been rebuilt after the Great Fire of London in 1666, and Bowles's work showcases the grandeur of the new building designed by architect Edward Jerman.

As a historical document, the print is valuable for its depiction of commercial life in mid-18th century London. It offers insights into the economic activities of the time and the importance of the Royal Exchange as a hub of national and international trade. Thomas Bowles was part of a family of printmakers who were prominent in London during the 18th century, and his works, including this view of the Royal Exchange, contributed to the popular genre of topographical prints that catered to the growing interest in urban landscapes and public spaces.

The print is a significant piece of visual culture from the Georgian era, reflecting both the artistic practices of the time and the social and economic milieu of London. It serves as a valuable resource for historians and art enthusiasts alike, providing a vivid portrayal of the commercial heart of the British capital during a period of expansion and prosperity.
