EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling St James's Square in London, 1754. From a bird's-eye view, we are transported to an era where horse-drawn carriages and elegant sedan chairs were the primary modes of transportation. The architectural beauty of this 18th-century square is on full display, showcasing the grandeur of British buildings. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the magnificent Church of St James with its towering spire, standing proudly amidst the cityscape. Its presence serves as a reminder of Christianity's influence during that period. Surrounding the church, we see rows upon rows of stately buildings lining the streets, reflecting both wealth and sophistication. As our eyes wander through this snapshot from history, we notice people going about their daily lives: pedestrians strolling along lanes, carriages traversing roads, and individuals gathered outside buildings engaged in conversation or perhaps admiring their surroundings. A serene pond adds a touch of tranquility to this vibrant scene. Preserved by Sutton Nicholls' masterful engraving skills, this monochrome masterpiece captures not only a specific location but also provides insight into life during England's eighteenth century. It offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both historical architecture and cultural heritage while immersing themselves in London's rich past. Displayed at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery for all to admire without commercial intent; it stands as a testament to our shared history and reminds us how far we have come since those days
