Description: On offer: an original (i.e. not a later reproduction) vintage etched print showing Hyde Park Corner. A view of Wellington Arch, also known as Constitution Arch or (originally) as the Green Park Arch, a Grade I-listed triumphal arch by Decimus Burton that forms a centrepiece of Hyde Park Corner in central London, between corners of Hyde Park and Green Park; it stands on a large traffic island with crossings for pedestrian access. From its construction (1826–1830) the arch stood in a different location nearby; it was moved to its current site in 1882–1883. DATE PRINTED: c.1950. SIZE: The printed area including titles is approx. 25 x 18 cm, 10 x 7 inches (medium) plus margins. ARTIST/CARTOGRAPHER/ENGRAVER: Unsigned. Drawn and etched by Leonard Russell Squirrell (1893-1979). The East Anglian printmaker and painter, Leonard Squirrell, was a regular exhibitor at both the Royal Academy and the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers and Engravers, of which he was a full Member. Squirrell was educated at the British School in Ipswich and in 1908 joined the Ipswich School of Art as a full-time student under George Rushton [q.v.] and remained there until 1916. In 1929 he succeeded Charles Edward Baskett [q.v.] in teaching etching at the Ipswich School of Art where he remained until 1940. Leonard is represented in many collections locally and internationally. In 2010, a blue plaque was installed at 82 Spring Road, Ipswich where the artist had spent his childhood.

It primarily refers to its major road junction at the southeastern corner of Hyde Park, that was designed by Decimus Burton. Six streets converge at the junction: Park Lane (from the north), Piccadilly (northeast), Constitution Hill (southeast), Grosvenor Place (south), Grosvenor Crescent (southwest) and Knightsbridge (west). Hyde Park Corner tube station served by the Piccadilly line has many accessways around the junction as do its notable monuments. Immediately to the north of the junction is Apsley House, the home of the first Duke of Wellington; several monuments to the Duke stand in the vicinity, both in his lifetime and subsequently.
