EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Leicester Square and its surroundings in 1658" takes us on a journey back in time to the heart of London during the 17th century. The intricate details captured by the English School artist transport us to an era where horse-drawn carriages traversed cobbled streets, and grand architectural marvels adorned the skyline. The print showcases Leicester Square as it appeared over three centuries ago, offering a glimpse into its historical significance. Faithornes map of London and Westminster served as the inspiration for this artwork, meticulously drawn by Richard Newcourt and expertly engraved by William Faithorne. As we explore this snapshot of history, our eyes are drawn to the lush greenery surrounding Leicester Square. Towering trees provide shade while adding a touch of natural beauty to the bustling cityscape. This depiction not only serves as a visual delight but also highlights botany's importance during that period when scientific methods were being developed. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this engraving offers insights into transportation modes prevalent at that time. Horse-drawn carriages dominate the streets while providing passenger transportation throughout Great Britain's capital city. Through this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder's Elgar Collection, we gain appreciation for British culture and topography while immersing ourselves in Europe's rich history. It is truly fascinating how art can transcend time and allow us to connect with past civilizations through their architecture, landscapes, and means of transport.
