EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, specifically to Russell Square in London. Named after the influential Dukes of Bedford, who owned the land on which it was built, this square holds a significant place in British history. The focal point of this image is the magnificent statue of Francis Russell, the 5th Duke of Bedford. Created by renowned sculptor Richard Westmacott, this masterpiece stands tall as a tribute to one of England's most prominent figures. Surrounding the statue are people from all walks of life - men, women, and children alike - gathered around for what seems to be an outdoor puppet show. Their faces filled with anticipation and joy reflect the vibrant entertainment scene that once thrived in this bustling square. The architectural beauty showcased here is awe-inspiring; grand buildings frame Russell Square while adding depth and character to its surroundings. This engraving captures not only a moment frozen in time but also highlights how artistry intertwines with everyday life. As we delve into this monochrome snapshot captured by Thomas Hosmer Shepherd and preserved by E Beresford Chancellor's meticulous work on documenting London's squares' history, we can't help but appreciate the rich heritage that bloomsbury has bestowed upon us through its iconic landmarks like Russell Square.
