About the Item

This print is titled The Directors' Parlour, Bank of England, and was created by J. C. Griffiths, whose name is visible in the lower right corner. The image depicts the grand interior of the Bank of England’s Directors' Parlour, a space where the bank’s leaders would gather for important meetings and decisions. The engraving highlights the neoclassical design of the room, featuring large Corinthian columns, ornate ceilings with intricate plasterwork, and expansive windows allowing natural light to flood the space. The checkered floor, detailed arches, and ceiling decorations showcase the elegance and importance of the space, fitting for one of the most powerful financial institutions of the era. The group of seated figures around the central table adds to the sense of authority and decorum. This engraving is part of a series or publication dating from around 1872. The fine lines and careful shading typical of Griffiths’ engraving technique give depth to the architectural details, helping to convey the grandeur and stateliness of the Directors' Parlour.
