EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching, titled "Red Lyon Square, 1727" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of London during the Georgian era. The artist, John Harris, provides us with a birds-eye view over Red Lion Square, a development that emerged in 1685 on Red Lion Fields in Holborn. As we gaze upon this historical print, our eyes are drawn to the meticulously detailed gardens and formal layout of the square. The geometric patterns and symmetrical design reflect the architectural style prevalent during this period. The scene is alive with activity as carriages traverse the streets below. One can almost imagine the sound of horses' hooves echoing through these historic lanes. Princess Street intersects with Orange Street at one end of the square, adding an extra touch of charm to this picturesque setting. Harris's etching captures not only a physical representation but also offers us a glimpse into daily life within this vibrant community. It serves as both a visual record and an invitation for viewers to immerse themselves in London's past. This particular print is part of a private collection and has been made available by Bridgeman Images for public enjoyment. As we admire its intricate details and appreciate its historical significance, let us be transported back to 1727 when Red Lyon Square was at its peak - an enduring testament to London's rich heritage.
