EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration is a drawing by the renowned Victorian architect, Alfred Waterhouse, for the ornamentation of the Natural History Museum in London, which he designed in the 1860s. The museum, a masterpiece of the Gothic Revival style, first opened its doors on Easter Monday, 1881. Waterhouse's intricate design for the interior decoration is showcased in this exquisite image, featuring an intricate leaf motif. The delicate tracery and sinuous curves of the leaves are rendered with remarkable precision and artistry, reflecting the naturalist ethos of the museum and the Victorian fascination with the intricacies of the natural world. The nineteenth century was a time of great exploration and discovery, and Waterhouse's design embodies the spirit of this era, blending art, science, and nature in a harmonious and awe-inspiring way. The drawing serves as a testament to Waterhouse's exceptional talent and his ability to create a space that inspires wonder and curiosity, inviting visitors to delve into the mysteries of the natural world.
