This etching, "Gezicht op Red Lion Square in Holborn", was created by Sutton Nicholls between 1720 and 1731. It shows a bird's-eye view of Red Lion Square in Holborn, London, with the surrounding buildings and streets. The central square, featuring a grid pattern of trees, is surrounded by homes, creating a sense of order and urban development. The image is a valuable record of London's landscape during the early 18th century and is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
