EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white etching transports us back in time to the bustling Piazza in Covent Garden, London, during the year 1640. The print, created by Wenceslaus Hollar, offers a glimpse into the vibrant street scene of this seventeenth-century square. In the foreground of the image, we see a variety of pedestrians going about their daily lives. Some are strolling leisurely along the cobblestone streets while others hurry past with purpose. Carriages and horsemen add to the liveliness of the scene as they navigate through the crowded square. The focal point of this historic snapshot is undoubtedly St Paul's Church designed by Inigo Jones. Its grandeur stands tall amidst its surroundings, showcasing Palladian and classical architectural elements that were popular during this era. Arcades line one side of the square, providing shelter for those seeking respite from inclement weather or simply looking for a momentary pause in their day. The presence of actors' church suggests that Covent Garden was already establishing itself as an entertainment hub even at this early stage. Hollar's meticulous attention to detail captures not only physical structures but also conveys a sense of energy and activity within Covent Garden. This etching serves as both a visual record and an invitation to imagine what life might have been like in this vibrant corner of London over three centuries ago.
