EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a serene summer day in 1950, capturing the essence of Petworth House Garden and its diligent gardener. The image showcases an intricate statue standing proudly at the entrance of a grand gateway, leading the way to this picturesque country house. Framed by an elegant archway adorned with climbing vines, it is evident that every detail has been meticulously cared for. The focus then shifts to the gardener himself, who stands tall with his trusty hoe in hand. His pipe gently billows smoke as he attentively tends to the vibrant flowers surrounding him. Dressed impeccably in traditional attire, complete with a watch chain adorning his waistcoat pocket, he exudes an air of authority and expertise. This snapshot from the George Garland Collection not only captures a moment frozen in time but also offers insight into life during the 1950s. It transports us back to an era where meticulous gardening was both a passion and duty for those entrusted with maintaining such magnificent estates. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, we can almost imagine ourselves stepping into Lord of the Manor's shoes – overseeing every aspect of this enchanting garden while taking solace in its tranquil beauty. This image serves as a testament to West Sussex County Council's commitment to preserving historical records that offer glimpses into our rich heritage.
