EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Dr. Samuel Johnson's Residence at 17 Gough Square, London (1700) 2.. This evocative print depicts Dr. Samuel Johnson's house, located at 17 Gough Square, off Fleet Street in London. Built in 1700, this historic structure holds significant literary and historical importance as the former home of one of England's most renowned literary figures. Dr. Johnson resided here from 1748 to 1759, during a period of great productivity and influence in his life. The charming, red-brick townhouse, with its elegant sash windows, stands proudly amidst the bustling streets of 18th-century London. The image captures the essence of the era, with a lone bobby, or police officer, keeping watch over the scene. The serene atmosphere of the quiet square, in contrast to the hustle and bustle of Fleet Street just a stone's throw away, provides a glimpse into the life of Dr. Johnson during his time in this residence. Dr. Johnson, a prolific writer, editor, and lexicographer, is best known for his groundbreaking work, "A Dictionary of the English Language," which he completed in 1755. His literary salon, held in the very rooms of this house, attracted many of the most prominent figures of the literary and intellectual world of the time. The house at 17 Gough Square has since become a pilgrimage site for literature enthusiasts and scholars, offering a tangible connection to the rich literary history of London and the enduring legacy of Dr. Samuel Johnson.
