EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "A Map of Bloomsbury and Holborn, London, 1746" takes us on a journey back in time to the bustling streets of 18th-century London. Created by John Rocque, this detailed map showcases the vibrant neighborhoods of Bloomsbury and Holborn during an era of significant growth and development. One notable feature depicted on this map is the Foundling Hospital, a compassionate institution established by Thomas Coram in the 1740s. This home for unwanted children provided shelter and care for those who had been abandoned or orphaned. The presence of this remarkable establishment serves as a reminder of both the hardships faced by vulnerable children at that time and the compassion shown by individuals like Coram. As we explore further into Rocque's intricate artwork, we encounter other landmarks such as Lincoln's Inn Fields, High Holborn, Red Lyon Square, Russell Square, Great Ormond Street, Gray's Inn, Great Russell Street, Conduit Fields Road - each representing a piece of London's rich history. From an aerial perspective captured within this print emerges a vivid snapshot showcasing Lambs Fields and St. Giles Church among various other locations that were integral to daily life in these neighborhoods centuries ago. With its historical significance and attention to detail capturing every street corner with precision; this enchanting engraving offers viewers an opportunity to immerse themselves in the past while appreciating Rocque's skillful artistry.
