Old Square: A Peek into the Past through the Lens of a Dickensian Era Lantern Slide Step back in time with this image of Old Square, an internal square on buildings, as depicted in a late 19th-century lantern slide from the Boswell Collection. Dating back to approximately 1900, this photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, showcasing the architectural charm of a bygone era. The square, enclosed by tall, imposing buildings, is a testament to the industrial might of the period. The structures, with their intricate brickwork and grandiose chimneys, stand proudly against the sky, their tall stacks belching out plumes of smoke. The scene is reminiscent of the bustling urban environments depicted in the works of Charles Dickens, a literary giant of the time. The lantern slide, part of the extensive Boswell Collection, offers a rare and intimate view of Old Square. The use of the lantern slide format, a popular means of visual entertainment during the late 1800s, adds an extra layer of intrigue to the image. The square, bathed in the soft glow of the lantern light, invites the viewer to imagine the hustle and bustle of daily life that once took place within its walls. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to a time when industry reigned supreme, and the world was a different place. Old Square serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage that lies within the pages of our past, waiting to be explored and appreciated.
