EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Glance into the Past: The Former Home of Dr. Johnson at 17 Gough Square, London - A Printers and Stationers' Haven by 1910" 2.. This evocative photograph, captured in 1910, offers a captivating glimpse into the rich history of 17 Gough Square in London, once the former home of the renowned literary figure, Dr. Samuel Johnson. By this time, however, the building had taken on a new role as a printers and stationers. 3. The image reveals a bustling scene of communication and creativity. The narrow, cobblestone street outside is filled with the sounds and sights of horse-drawn carts, while the printing presses inside hum with the rhythmic clatter of type setting and the steady thump of the presses. 4. The premises, with its red-brick facade and tall, arched windows, exudes an air of industriousness. The workers, dressed in their crisp shirts and aprons, can be seen busily tending to their tasks. One worker, perched precariously on a ladder, adjusts the letters on a wall, while another, holding a stack of freshly printed pages, heads towards the delivery cart outside. 5. The presence of Baines & Company's sign, a well-known printer and publisher of the time, adds to the historical significance of the scene. The company, which had a long-standing association with Dr. Johnson, would have been a familiar sight to the residents of Gough Square. 6. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the interconnectedness of the worlds of literature, printing, and communication, and the pivotal role that 17 Gough Square played in London's rich history. The horse-drawn carts, the ladder-wielding worker, and the steady hum of the printing presses all contribute to a captivating tableau of a bygone era.
