Temple of the Muses

Fine art print.
Features the Temple of the Muses, Finsbury Square. James Lackington was a bookseller who is credited with revolutionizing the British book trade. Lackington's main bookstore in Finsbury Square was called the "Temple of the Muses" and was said to have been large enough "that a mail-coach and four were driven round the counters at its opening".
Based on an engraving from 1827 by Thomas Shepherd, which we have carefully restored and enhanced.
