EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Interior of the Great Palm House, Kew Gardens, Surrey, 1852," offers a glimpse into the grandeur and historical significance of one of the most iconic structures at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew. The Great Palm House, built between 1844 and 1848, was a groundbreaking architectural achievement of its time, designed by Decimus Burton and Richard Turner. This image, created in 1852, showcases the centre of the glasshouse, which was a hub of scientific discovery and innovation. The Great Palm House was the largest glasshouse in the world at the time, and its construction marked a major milestone in the history of botanical exploration. The interior of the structure was filled with a diverse array of exotic plants from tropical climates, many of which were newly discovered. The glasshouse's unique design allowed for the creation of a microclimate, enabling the survival and growth of these plants in the cooler English climate. The engraving captures the grandeur of the interior, with its towering glass walls and intricate ironwork. The central walkway, which can be seen in the image, allowed visitors to stroll through the lush foliage and observe the plants up close. The palm trees, which give the Great Palm House its name, dominate the scene, their tall trunks reaching towards the glass ceiling. This historical image provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of scientific discovery and innovation that took place within the walls of the Great Palm House at Kew Gardens in the mid-19th century.
