EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Statue of the Duke of Bedford, located in Russell Square, Bloomsbury, London. Created by J Greig and featuring the artistic talents of Richard Westmacott, this statue pays homage to Francis Russell, the 5th Duke of Bedford (1765-1802). As one of the prominent landlords in Bloomsbury during that era, the Russells held significant influence over this vibrant neighborhood. Erected in 1807, this sculpture stands as a testament to both historical significance and artistic excellence. The attention to detail is evident through Westmacott's skillful craftsmanship. Every contour and expression on Francis Russell's face exudes nobility and authority. The print collector WK Morland has preserved this remarkable piece for generations to appreciate its beauty and historical context. Through their collaboration with J Greig's photography skills, they have immortalized this iconic statue for all art enthusiasts. As we gaze upon this image today, we are transported back to a time when grand statues adorned public spaces like Russell Square. This photograph serves as a visual reminder of our rich heritage and reminds us how art can capture not only physical likeness but also convey emotions and stories from centuries past.
