Lloyd's Merchants Room - Reading the News of the Victory of the Alma, 1854. Creator: Unknown

Lloyd's Merchants Room - Reading the News of the Victory of the Alma, 1854. Crimean War news. Lloyd's Rooms, in the Royal Exchange [in London], are...the resort of merchants, shipowners, shipbrokers, and underwriters. Here, all intelligence of things political, as well as maritime, is early known...all the daily newspapers, the foreign journals, and most of our provincial papers, are to be found... the crowding to catch a glimpse at the "latest intelligence" is very exciting: everyone being eager to see, there is an unusual amount of endeavours of tall men to peep over little ones, of pushing to obtain glimpses between heads and hats, or sidelong glances at the newspapers. About four o'clock...is the scene of the greatest excitement: the evening journals are then posted up...and great is the struggle to get the first of the "Special Intelligence"'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854
