The artist behind this masterpiece is none other than Edward Rooker, who skillfully captures the essence of this iconic location. In the foreground of the image, figures can be seen strolling along the Grand Walk, adding a sense of life and movement to the scene. Vauxhall Gardens was a popular destination for entertainment during the 18th century. This engraving by Rooker beautifully portrays its grandeur and charm.
