EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Map of the parish of St. Paul, Covent Garden, showing the site of Bedford House and grounds" takes us back to the vibrant streets of 17th-century London. Created by William Leybourn in 1686 and published by W. P. Metchim, this historical map offers a fascinating glimpse into the past. The intricate details showcased in this print allow us to explore every nook and cranny of Covent Garden's bustling neighborhood. From its charming town square to its neatly laid out grid system, we can almost envision ourselves strolling through these ancient streets. One cannot help but be drawn to the grandeur of Bedford House as it dominates the center of this map. Once a magnificent Jacobean mansion belonging to John Russell, Earl of Bedford, it stood as a symbol of power and wealth during that era. As our eyes wander beyond Bedford House's impressive facade, we are treated to an aerial view that reveals Covent Garden's lively market scene – a hub for commerce and social interaction. The birds-eye perspective captures both the energy and diversity found within this borough. Preserved over centuries in impeccable condition at London Metropolitan Archives' collection, Leybourn's engraving is not only a valuable historical artifact but also an exquisite work of art itself. It serves as a testament to London's rich heritage while allowing us to appreciate how much has changed since those early days in Westminster.
