EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Golden Square, c. 1725" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of 18th century London. The print, created by John Bowles and Sutton Nicholls for London Described, offers a unique perspective of this iconic square from above. As we gaze upon the image, our eyes are drawn to the grandeur of Golden Square itself. Surrounded by elegant Georgian buildings and lush greenery, it serves as a public park where people gather and enjoy leisurely strolls. The square's meticulous design is evident from this birds-eye view, showcasing its symmetrical layout with John Street on the left and James Street on the right. Transportation plays a prominent role in this scene as well. Carriages gracefully traverse the cobblestone streets below while sedan chairs carry individuals through the bustling cityscape. These modes of transport provide a glimpse into daily life during this era. Soho's vibrant atmosphere can be felt throughout the engraving; it was undoubtedly an area frequented by fashionable society members seeking entertainment and socializing opportunities. This remarkable piece not only captures an exquisite moment in history but also provides valuable insights into London's topography during that period. As we admire this print today, we are transported back to a time when elegance and sophistication reigned supreme in one of Europe's most influential cities.
