EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Leicester Square in Westminster, London, around 1750. The image showcases the equestrian statue of King George I that once stood proudly in the square. Created by an unknown artist and featured in Edward Walford's publication "Old and New London: A Narrative of Its History, Its People, and Its Places" this snapshot offers a glimpse into the past. Leicester Square, established in 1670, was once a vibrant hub but had fallen into neglect over time. Unfortunately, the statue suffered from vandalism and was eventually destroyed. Nevertheless, this photograph immortalizes its grandeur for future generations to appreciate. The scene depicted is bustling with activity as people go about their daily lives. Men and women can be seen going about various professions while others leisurely stroll through the square. Sedan chairs are also visible on the road as a popular mode of transportation during that era. With its monochrome charm, this image transports us back to a bygone era when Leicester Square held historical significance within Britain's capital city. It serves as a reminder of how landscapes evolve over time while preserving fragments of history for all to behold.
