Painting Description
"Soho or King's Square for Stow's Survey of London by Sutton Nicholls" is an illustration that accompanies the renowned topographical work "Survey of London" by John Stow, which was first published in 1598 and has undergone numerous editions and updates. The illustration in question is attributed to Sutton Nicholls, an English engraver and printmaker active in the late 17th and early 18th centuries, known for his detailed views of London.
The "Survey of London" is a historic and descriptive account of the city, its wards, and parishes, providing a valuable record of London's architecture, social history, and urban development. Stow's original work was a pioneering effort in urban history and topography, and it has been revised and expanded by various editors over the centuries to reflect changes in the city's landscape.
Soho or King's Square, now commonly known as Soho Square, was an important feature of London's West End during the time of Nicholls' depiction. The square was laid out in the late 17th century and quickly became a fashionable residential area. Nicholls' illustration captures the square's layout and the surrounding buildings, offering a glimpse into the urban fabric of London during that period.
Sutton Nicholls' contribution to the "Survey of London" is significant as his engravings serve as a visual complement to the text, enhancing the reader's understanding of London's historical environment. His work is valued not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical accuracy and attention to detail, providing an important resource for historians, architects, and anyone interested in the evolution of London's urban landscape.
The "Survey of London" continues to be an essential reference for the study of London's history, and illustrations like "Soho or King's Square" by Sutton Nicholls help to bring the city's past to life, offering a window into the architectural and social context of the time.
