EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the timeless charm of Soho, London's iconic district, in the 1970s. The image, titled "Soho, London - Golden Square W1," was taken by renowned photographer Robert Stallard in 1973. The photograph showcases the picturesque Golden Square, with its paved streets, classical architecture, and vibrant flowerbeds. At the heart of the scene stands a statue of King George II, a regal figure sculpted by John Nost (also known as Jan van Nost) in 1724. The statue, which rests on a grand plinth, adds an air of British history and royalty to the bustling urban landscape. The Roman-inspired classical style of the statue contrasts beautifully with the modern benches, inviting passersby to pause for a moment and reflect. The photograph transports us back to a bygone era, a time when Soho was a thriving cultural hub teeming with life and creativity. The paved streets, lined with shops and cafes, were filled with people from all walks of life, drawn to the area's unique energy and eclectic mix of influences. Despite the passage of time, the spirit of Soho remains unchanged, continuing to captivate visitors with its rich history, diverse culture, and enduring charm. This photograph serves as a testament to the district's enduring allure and its ability to capture the imagination of generations.
