Painting Description
"A View of The Royal Exchange, Cornhill" is an engraving by Daniel Havell, created between 1785 and 1826, and published in 1816 by Ackermann's Repository of Arts. This work is part of a larger collection of engravings that capture the architectural and urban landscapes of early 19th-century London. The engraving is based on an original drawing by Thomas Hosmer Shepherd, a renowned artist known for his detailed and accurate depictions of British architecture and cityscapes.
The Royal Exchange, located in the heart of the City of London, has been a significant center of commerce since its establishment in the 16th century. The building depicted in Havell's engraving is the second Royal Exchange, which was designed by Edward Jarman and opened in 1669 after the original structure was destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666. This iteration of the Royal Exchange served as a hub for merchants and traders until it was itself destroyed by fire in 1838.
