EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print transports us back in time to the late 19th century, specifically to the Home of Sir Joshua Reynolds at 47 Leicester Square in London. Sir Joshua Reynolds (1723-1792), a renowned English painter and founding president of the Royal Academy, lived in this elegant townhouse between 1761 and 1792. The image, captured circa 1907, offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the grandeur of Reynolds' former residence before its unfortunate demise. The house, with its distinctive red brick facade and ornate windows, stands proudly amidst the bustling streets of Leicester Square. The backbuildings, which once housed the artist's studio and living quarters for his servants, can also be seen in the background. Sadly, in 1937, the house and its backbuildings were demolished to make way for the extension of Fanum House. Today, only memories and historical records remain of Sir Joshua Reynolds' cherished home. This photograph print serves as a poignant reminder of the rich history that once filled the streets of Leicester Square and the legacy of one of England's most celebrated artists.
