EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur of Palace Gates in Kew Gardens, London. Taken from a series of twenty-four drawings on stone by George Ernest Papendiek and engraved by Charles Hullmandel, this hand-coloured lithograph showcases the intricate details of the gate's design. Standing tall and imposing, the gates are guarded by a soldier wearing a bearskin hat - an iconic symbol of the British army. The sentry stands at attention, his presence adding to the air of authority surrounding this entrance to the Royal Botanic Gardens. The artist's skillful engraving brings out every line and curve with precision, highlighting both the strength and elegance of these palace gates. The composition draws us into a world where history meets nature; where beauty is preserved within these meticulously crafted iron bars. As we gaze upon this print, we can almost imagine ourselves walking through those gates into another time – a time when royalty strolled through these gardens or perhaps even sought solace within their walls. It is as if this image holds secrets that only those who dare enter can uncover. Displayed in Yale Center for British Art's Paul Mellon Collection in America, this piece reminds us not only of England's rich heritage but also its commitment to preserving natural beauty amidst urban landscapes.
