EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the enchanting Botanic Garden in Oxford. Standing at the main gate, built over three centuries ago by the skilled hands of Nicholas Stone, we are invited to peer into a world of natural beauty and tranquility. As our gaze follows the leafy avenue that stretches out before us, it is impossible not to be captivated by the allure of this historic garden. The meticulously maintained pathway seems to whisper stories of centuries past, as if each step taken here carries with it a piece of botanical history. Originally established as the Oxford Physic Garden in 1621 by Henry Danvers, this horticultural haven has evolved into an oasis for both scholars and nature enthusiasts alike. Its rich heritage is palpable through every carefully cultivated flowerbed and lush greenery that surrounds us. The photograph itself was expertly captured by Henry Taunt in 1911, freezing a moment in time where visitors could embark on their own journey through this idyllic sanctuary. Taunt's keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate not only the grandeur of the main gate but also hints at what lies beyond – a treasure trove waiting to be discovered within these walls. This remarkable image serves as a reminder that amidst bustling city life, there exists an escape into nature's embrace. It beckons us to wander through its entrance once more, leaving behind our worries and immersing ourselves in the serenity found within this cherished garden.
