EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the 16th century, showcasing an arbour being built as a shade against the scorching sun. The image is taken from "The Gardeners Labyrinth" by Thomas Hill, a renowned English gardener of that era. In this scene, we witness the meticulous construction of an arbour within a walled garden. A group of workers can be seen laboring diligently to create this sheltered oasis. Turves are being cut for seating, while a winding walkway takes shape under their skilled hands. It's clear that every detail has been carefully planned and executed. The design of the arbour is both practical and aesthetically pleasing. With its turf seats and sturdy structure, it promises comfort for al fresco eating or simply enjoying nature's beauty in solitude. Climbers eagerly reach towards the sky along its walls, adding a touch of vibrant greenery to this tranquil setting. As we observe this snapshot in time, we can almost imagine ourselves transported into Elizabethan England – dining at the wooden table surrounded by lush plants and rising climbers. The dedication of these gardeners reminds us of their passion for creating serene spaces amidst bustling cities. This remarkable woodcut photograph from Bridgeman Images captures not only the physical labor involved but also showcases how gardens were meticulously designed during that period – blending functionality with natural beauty to provide respite from the harsh sunrays overhead.
