EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Saqui & Company, a renowned watchmaker located at 282 Bishopsgate in London during the early 1900s. The image, taken by an English photographer from the 20th century, showcases a bustling street scene filled with figures engaged in various trades and retail activities. In the foreground stands a child, perhaps an apprentice or a curious onlooker, gazing intently at the shopfront of Saqui & Company. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into the vibrant world of commerce that thrived in England's capital city at that time. The grandeur of the buildings lining Bishopsgate is evident as they tower above this thriving hub of activity. The jewelry trade was clearly flourishing here, as indicated by numerous signs adorning other shopfronts along this historic street. This photograph not only provides insight into London's social history but also serves as a testament to Britain's rich business heritage. It reminds us of how these skilled craftsmen played an integral role in shaping society through their dedication to their respective trades. Preserved within this private collection and now part of The Stapleton Collection, this evocative image transports us back to an era when craftsmanship and tradition were highly valued. As we admire this remarkable piece captured by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded once again that photography has the power to immortalize moments frozen in time for generations to come.
