EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century transports us back to a significant moment in history - the Opening of the Castle Grounds, Newark, as a Public Garden. The image showcases the transformation of this once fortified castle into a serene and welcoming public space. The intricate details captured by the English School artist allow us to appreciate both the grandeur of the castle's architecture and its surrounding lush gardens. The fortifications that once served as protection now stand as a reminder of its storied past. The ramparts, with their weathered stone walls, evoke a sense of strength and resilience. As we gaze upon this print, we can imagine strolling through these newly opened grounds, marveling at the beauty that now thrives within its walls. It is evident that great care has been taken to create an inviting atmosphere for visitors seeking solace or leisurely walks amidst nature's embrace. This engraving originally appeared in The Graphic on May 25th, 1889 - an illustration capturing an important milestone in Newark's history. Today, it serves as both a historical artifact and an inspiration for urban planning enthusiasts who recognize the value of repurposing historic sites for public enjoyment. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from their Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection so that future generations may continue to admire and reflect upon this transformative moment when fortress became garden.
