EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, titled "The New Street (Regent Street) looking toward the Quadrant," offers a captivating glimpse into the grandeur of Regency-era London. The image, published in Rudolph Ackermann's Repository of Arts in 1822, depicts New Street, now known as Regent Street, looking towards the Quadrant, a stunning architectural development designed by the renowned architect John Nash. The engraving showcases a picturesque scene of the New Street, lined with elegant Palladian villas, their white facades adorned with columns and pediments. The Chiswick House, designed by William Kent and Richard Boyle, 3rd Earl of Burlington, can be seen in the background, its magnificent gardens extending towards the horizon. The New Street, with its stately homes and elegant frontages, was a symbol of the aristocracy and landed gentry's wealth and status during the Regency period. John Nash's Quadrant, a semicircular terrace of houses, is a prominent feature of the image. The Quadrant, designed as part of the larger Regent's Park development, was a groundbreaking architectural achievement of the time, showcasing Nash's innovative design and vision for urban planning. The engraving captures the essence of Regency London's opulence and grandeur, providing a fascinating glimpse into the past.
