EDITORS COMMENTS
This sketch, created by Henrietta Grace Baden Powell (nee Smyth) in the 1840s, depicts George Bishop's Observatory located near South Villa in Regent's Park, London. The observatory, built in 1836, was a significant scientific and cultural landmark of the Victorian era. Equipped with a 7-inch (180 mm) Dolland refractor, it was a hub for astronomical discovery and exploration. Bishop, a renowned scientist and clergyman, was a close friend of Henrietta's mother, and the observatory was a source of great fascination for the young Henrietta. The circular structure, with its distinctive domed roof, stands proudly against the backdrop of the lush Regent's Park, reflecting the harmonious blend of science and nature that defined the era. Henrietta's sketch is a testament to the scientific and cultural significance of Bishop's Observatory during this period. The observatory, which closed in 1861 following Bishop's death, marked an important chapter in the history of astronomy and scientific exploration in London. This charming sketch, created by the mother of Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of the Scout Movement, is a precious reminder of the rich scientific heritage of Regent's Park and the enduring fascination of astronomy.
