Bagnigge Wells - A Delightful Summer Afternoon with Mr Deputy Dumpling and Family
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this charming coloured engraving by Robert Dighton, we are transported to the idyllic Bagnigge Wells gardens in 1781. The focal point of the image is none other than Mr Deputy Dumpling and his family, indulging in the simple pleasures of a sunny day. Mr Deputy Dumpling, known for his stout figure, takes center stage as he sits comfortably on a bench. His rotundity reflects an era where obesity was celebrated rather than frowned upon. Beside him sits his adoring wife, elegantly dressed and fanning herself to combat the summer heat. Their children surround them - their son eagerly sipping coffee while their daughter plays with her doll nearby. It's evident that this family cherishes moments spent together amidst nature's beauty. Bagnigge Wells itself was a popular spa resort during this time period, attracting pleasure-seekers from all walks of life. The lush greenery and serene atmosphere provided an escape from bustling London streets. This delightful scene captured by Dighton invites us to appreciate not only the joyous company of loved ones but also the simple pleasures found within nature's embrace. As we gaze upon this enchanting print, it serves as a reminder that happiness can be derived from even the most ordinary moments shared with those dear to our hearts.
