EDITORS COMMENTS
Victoria Regina, Kew Gardens: A Serene Moment in the 1890s This photograph, taken in the late 1890s, showcases the tranquil beauty of Kew Gardens in London during the reign of Queen Victoria. The image, part of the Box 34 Boswell Collection, depicts a water channel adorned with large water lily pads, their lush green surfaces reflecting the clear blue sky above. In the background, a grand building, likely a pavilion or conservatory, stands majestically, adding an air of elegance and refinement to the scene. The serene atmosphere is further enhanced by the gentle play of light on the water, as the sun casts dappled reflections onto the surface. The presence of a lantern in the foreground suggests that this photograph was taken during a leisurely stroll through the gardens, perhaps as part of an afternoon excursion or a romantic outing. During Queen Victoria's reign, Kew Gardens were a popular destination for the British aristocracy and the affluent classes, who sought respite from the hustle and bustle of urban life. The gardens, with their vast collection of exotic plants and picturesque landscapes, offered a peaceful retreat, a place to unwind and connect with nature. This photograph, with its idyllic setting and timeless charm, transports us back to a bygone era, inviting us to savor the simple pleasures of a leisurely day spent in the company of nature and the elegance of Victorian England.
