The colour engraving, created by Richard Caton Woodville II in 1885, showcases a picturesque scene filled with trees, women, men, and the tranquil river. As we gaze upon this enchanting image, we are transported to a time when picnics were treasured pastimes. The group of elegantly dressed individuals has gathered under the shade of towering trees along the riverbank. They have spread out their picnic blankets and set up a delightful feast for all to enjoy. The women's flowing dresses and parasols add an air of elegance to the scene while the men engage in conversation or perhaps prepare some refreshments. Laughter fills the air as they relish in each other's company amidst nature's beauty.
