EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print "Entrance to the Cave, Richmond Gardens" takes us on a journey back in time to the enchanting world of 18th-century English architecture. This hand-coloured lithograph, engraved by Charles Hullmandel and published in 1820, showcases the remarkable talent of George Ernest Papendiek. In this image measuring 11.5x15.5 cm, we are transported to Kew Gardens where we find ourselves standing before an awe-inspiring archway leading into a mysterious cave. The cave's construction dates back to 1735 when it was built by Queen Caroline herself, adding an air of regality and intrigue to its allure. Interestingly enough, this was not her first venture into creating grottos as she had already constructed another one in 1732. As we gaze upon the ruins depicted within this print, our imagination runs wild with tales of Arthurian legends and mythical creatures that may have once inhabited these very grounds. The picturesque setting evokes a sense of wonderment and invites us to explore further into the depths of history. Preserved within Yale Center for British Art's Paul Mellon Collection in the USA, this artwork serves as a testament to both British heritage and artistic prowess. It reminds us that even remnants from centuries past can still captivate our hearts today.
