EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Water Works, Kew Gardens" takes us on a journey back in time to the early 19th century. Plate 22 from the renowned series "Kew Gardens: A Series of Twenty-Four Drawings on Stone" this hand-coloured lithograph showcases the exceptional talent of Charles Hullmandel, an esteemed engraver of his time. The image transports us to the heart of Kew Gardens, where we are greeted by a picturesque scene. The outbuildings with their brick roofs stand proudly against the backdrop of lush greenery and towering trees. This glimpse into the royal botanic gardens gives us a rare insight into not only its natural beauty but also its functional aspects. The focus here lies on the water system that was crucial for maintaining these magnificent gardens. The utilities depicted in this engraving remind us of the intricate network required to sustain such a vast botanical haven. It is fascinating to see how even centuries ago, efficient systems were put in place to ensure that nature thrived within these grounds. This particular print, part of Yale Center for British Art's Paul Mellon Collection in the USA, captures both historical significance and artistic brilliance. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let it serve as a reminder that behind every breathtaking garden lies meticulous planning and unseen infrastructure working tirelessly to bring forth nature's wonders.
