1883 Keeping Nanny Peace Shown
EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled 'Children Playing in Temple Gardens, London, 1883,' offers a glimpse into the past, capturing a moment of joy and innocence in the heart of the city. The image shows a large group of children, dressed in clothing typical of the late Victorian era, engaged in various games and activities. Some children are playing with hoops, while others are having a water fight with buckets and hoses. A few children are seen sitting on the grass, enjoying a picnic. The peaceful scene is not without supervision, however. A nanny, dressed in a long, dark skirt and blouse, keeps a watchful eye over the children, ensuring their safety and order. Nearby, a policeman stands, his back to the scene, maintaining the peace and security of the gardens. Temple Gardens, located on the north bank of the River Thames in London, have a rich history dating back to the 13th century. The gardens were once part of the Temple complex, which included the Inns of Court and the Middle Temple. In the late 19th century, the gardens were popular among Londoners, providing a respite from the hustle and bustle of the city. This historical engraving, imported from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a precious reminder of a simpler time, when children could play freely in the gardens, and the presence of a nanny and a policeman ensured that peace and order were maintained. The image, dated June 7, 1883, is a testament to the enduring charm of London's past and the joy of childhood.
