EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Mr. Davies Shop on Russell Street in Covent Garden, London, back in 1881. The shop belonged to Thomas Davies, a renowned bookseller and author who played a significant role in literary history. It was within these very walls that James Boswell was introduced to the esteemed Dr. Samuel Johnson in 1763. The image showcases an exquisite Georgian building that stands proudly amidst its surroundings. Its architectural beauty is evident even in monochrome, with intricate details adorning its exterior. As one gazes upon this snapshot from the past, it transports them to a bygone era when bustling streets were lined with shops like Mr. Davies', offering knowledge and entertainment through their publications. The photograph originates from "Old and New London: A Narrative of Its History, Its People, and Its Places" written by Edward Walford and published by Cassell, Petter, Galpin & Co. , London, Paris & New York in 1881. Through this image's lens into history, we catch a glimpse of not only a physical location but also the occupation and profession of individuals like Thomas Davies - publishers who shaped British literature during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. As we admire this remarkable piece captured by an unknown creator over a century ago, let us appreciate how it encapsulates both the charm of Covent Garden's Russell Street as well as the enduring legacy left behind by figures such as Thomas Davies himself.
