EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, dating back to circa 1770 from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a breathtaking view of Kew Gardens as it once appeared over 250 years ago. The scene focuses on the serene expanse of the lake and island, surrounded by lush greenery and picturesque landscaping. The tranquil waters reflect the vibrant colors of the surrounding foliage, creating a sense of harmony and peace. In the background, the distinct silhouettes of the Temples of Arethusa and Victory can be seen, adding an air of grandeur and elegance to the scene. These temples, built in the Chinese and classical Greek styles, respectively, were popular attractions for visitors to Kew Gardens during this period. Further in the distance, the impressive Great Pagoda comes into view, towering above the gardens with its tiered roofs and ornate decorations. This architectural marvel, inspired by Chinese design, was a symbol of the exotic and far-flung reaches of the British Empire. The print also showcases the meticulously manicured lawn, which served as a popular gathering place for the aristocracy and their families. The careful arrangement of trees, shrubs, and flowers in the foreground adds to the overall sense of order and beauty that characterized Kew Gardens during this time. This print provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a window into the history and charm of Kew Gardens as they appeared over two centuries ago.
