EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back in time to Leicester Square, circa 1725. The print, created by John Bowles and Sutton Nicholls for London Described, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to a bustling square filled with life and activity. Looking north from our vantage point, our eyes are drawn towards the magnificent Leicester House. This grand mansion stands proudly amidst the surrounding buildings of this 17th-century square. The architecture reflects the Georgian style prevalent during that era. The scene is teeming with people going about their daily lives. Carriages and sedan chairs traverse the cobblestone streets, providing transportation for those who can afford it. It's as if we can almost hear the clip-clop of horses' hooves echoing through time. Leicester Square itself serves as a public park where locals gather to socialize and enjoy leisurely strolls amidst lush greenery. From an aerial perspective, we gain a bird's-eye view of this charming prospect. As we admire this exquisite piece of topographical artistry, it becomes evident why it has stood the test of time. Its intricate details capture not only the physical landscape but also offer us a glimpse into society during England's eighteenth century.
