This print captures the historical significance of Manchester's First Exchange, which was built in 1729 and unfortunately demolished in 1792. The engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, showcases the architectural beauty of this iconic structure. The image is part of a private collection and was featured in Richard Wright Procter's book "Memorials of Manchester Streets" published in 1874. It provides us with a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the rich history that once thrived within these streets. The cobblestone street network depicted in black and white adds a sense of nostalgia to the scene. The illustration portrays not only the physical infrastructure but also hints at bustling avenues filled with life during its heyday. As we gaze upon this engraving, we are transported back to early 18th-century England. This piece serves as a reminder of how cities evolve over time while preserving their heritage. It symbolizes Manchester's growth from its humble beginnings to becoming one of Britain's most vibrant urban centers.
