EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century London. The image showcases the iconic Panopticon, a magnificent architectural marvel that stood tall in Leicester Square. Built in 1854, this impressive structure was designed by Edward Walford and featured prominently in his publication "Old and New London Vol III". As we observe this elevated view, we are struck by the grandeur of the Panopticon's design. Its towering presence dominates the square, commanding attention from all who pass by. The Victorian-era pedestrians can be seen strolling leisurely around its base, while women and children add life to the scene. The intricate details captured within this monochrome engraving transport us to a time when surveillance was an emerging concept. The Panopticon's strategic location allowed for optimal observation of its surroundings, creating a sense of constant vigilance. Leicester Square comes alive with activity as people gather near a charming fountain at its center. This vibrant vista offers a glimpse into daily life during this historic era. As we delve into this remarkable piece of history through Edward Walford's lens, it is clear why this print has become such an invaluable treasure for heritage enthusiasts today. It serves as a testament to both London's rich architectural heritage and the artistic prowess of those who documented it for generations to come.
