Floral jubilee...in honour of the Dumfries and Galloway Horticultural Society...1862. Creator: Unknown
Floral jubilee recently held in honour of the Dumfries and Galloway Horticultural Society's fiftieth anniversary, 1862. The show of plants, fruits, and flowers...was held in the charming grounds of the Crichton Institution. The show-tent was pitched on a grassy level near the bowling-green...two grassy terraces alone intervening. Adjacent to the bowling-green...was a capacious refreshment-tent. Smaller tents were dotted about the grounds, and the white canvas, contrasting with the greenery of the trees, gave variety to the picture. Not the least attractive...were the well-ordered grounds, amid which all were free to rove. Standing near the refreshment-tent, a magnificent prospect could be obtained of the marches of Dumfriesshire and Galloway, stretching from the far-off Queensberry Hill in the north, round a picturesque range of grouped mountain peaks, to the lofty Criffel. Embosomed in the extensive amphitheatre of hills lay the old romantic town, from which in the morning the sound of preparations floated on the gale, and at noon the music of the bands and pealing of the bells as the procession moved through the streets. In the afternoon the grounds had a most lively aspect, all the walks being thronged with gaily-dressed ladies'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the essence of the Floral Jubilee held in honor of the Dumfries and Galloway Horticultural Society's fiftieth anniversary in 1862. The show of plants, fruits, and flowers was a sight to behold, set against the charming grounds of the Crichton Institution. The show-tent stood proudly on a grassy level near the bowling-green, with smaller tents dotted about the grounds creating a picturesque scene.
As visitors roamed freely through the well-ordered grounds, they were treated to magnificent views of Dumfriesshire and Galloway stretching out before them. From Queensberry Hill in the north to Criffel in the south, the landscape provided a breathtaking backdrop to this jubilant occasion.
The lively atmosphere of the afternoon was enhanced by gaily-dressed ladies strolling along all walks, taking in the beauty that surrounded them. The sounds of music from bands and pealing bells filled the air as a procession moved through town earlier in the day.
This print is not just a snapshot in time but a window into an era where nature's beauty was celebrated with grandeur and elegance. It serves as a reminder of how horticulture has long been cherished and honored throughout history.
