EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling Hanover Square in Westminster, London, during the 18th century. The image beautifully captures the essence of this Georgian era with its grand architecture and vibrant street life. In this snapshot of history, we see a diverse array of people going about their daily activities. Men dressed in fashionable attire can be seen strolling along the square or engaging in conversation with one another. The square itself is adorned with elegant buildings that exude an air of sophistication and refinement. Transportation plays a significant role in this scene as well. Sedan chairs, a popular mode of transport at the time, are carried by strong men through the streets, providing comfort for those who prefer not to walk. This unique form of transportation adds an interesting dynamic to the overall composition. The monochrome aesthetic lends a timeless quality to the image, allowing us to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic merit. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print from Edward Walford's Old and New London Illustrated series, we are transported back to a bygone era filled with charm and elegance. This remarkable piece serves as a window into 1750s London—a city that has evolved over centuries yet still retains traces of its rich heritage today. It reminds us how much our surroundings have changed while also highlighting enduring elements that continue to shape our modern world.
