Their crisp line engravings balanced architectural detail with news-sheet clarity, offering a slice of daily life in the City. The print shows clerks and coaches moving past the Exchange’s tall façade under a clear sky, each figure sized to scale. Tap the Royal Exchange to step into London’s streets at the turn of the century.
