Caption

Leicester Square, London, 1750 (1907). Leicester Square was developed in the 1670s. The large house with a forecourt in the top right hand corner of the square is Leicester House, which was the residence of Frederick, Prince of Wales at the time of the original engraving. By the late 18th century, Leicester Square was no longer the fashionable address it had once been, and became a venue for popular entertainment. A print from The History of the Squares of London Topographical and Historical by E Beresford Chancellor, Kegan Paul, Trench, Trubner and Co Ltd, London, 1907.
