EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us to the enchanting Kensington Gardens in Westminster, London. The image showcases a mesmerizing detail of an ornamental serpentiform bench, beautifully captured by the talented photographer Eric de Mare between 1945 and 1980. As we gaze upon this timeless scene, we are immediately drawn to the intricate craftsmanship of the bench. Its sinuous curves mimic that of a majestic serpent, gracefully coiling around itself. This unique design element adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the already picturesque surroundings. The composition is masterfully framed, allowing us to appreciate not only the exquisite bench but also its serene natural backdrop. Towering trees stand tall behind it, their branches reaching towards the sky as if whispering secrets to one another. The soft sunlight filters through their leaves, casting gentle shadows on the ground below. One can almost imagine taking a leisurely stroll through these historic gardens and stumbling upon this hidden gem. It invites us to pause for a moment of respite amidst nature's beauty – perhaps sitting down on that very bench and immersing ourselves in its tranquil ambiance. Eric de Mare's skillful eye has immortalized this fleeting moment in time, preserving it for generations to come. This print serves as both a testament to his artistic talent and a reminder of the enduring allure found within London's iconic Kensington Gardens.
