EDITORS COMMENTS
Bloomsbury Square, London in 1787: A Glimpse into Georgian Elegance This exquisite coloured aquatint engraving, titled "Bloomsbury Square," is a captivating window into the past, offering a glimpse of London in 1787. The image is part of the Mayson Beeton Collection, held by Historic England Photo Library. Bloomsbury Square, located in the heart of London, is a tranquil and elegant square that has retained much of its Georgian charm. The engraving reveals a meticulously planned urban landscape, with a grid of uniformly designed houses surrounding the square. The buildings, characterized by their red brick facades, tall windows, and ornate doorways, exude an air of sophistication and grandeur. The square itself is a lush, green oasis, with trees lining its perimeter and a central fountain adding a touch of whimsy. The square's serene atmosphere is further emphasized by the absence of vehicles and the presence of leisurely strollers, who seem to be enjoying the picturesque scene. The engraving also reveals the social and cultural fabric of Georgian London. The presence of a school in the bottom left corner of the image suggests that education was a priority for the residents of Bloomsbury Square. The presence of a coach and horses in the foreground hints at the importance of mobility and the role of the horse-drawn carriage in Georgian society. This coloured aquatint engraving is a testament to the beauty and elegance of Georgian London, offering a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era. It is a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage that continues to shape London today.
