EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Arbour built as a shade against the sun and planting in raised beds" takes us back to the 16th century, immersing us in the world of gardening through Thomas Hill's masterpiece, The Gardeners Labyrinth. As we gaze upon this woodcut, we are transported to a time when nature was meticulously shaped by human hands. The arbour stands tall and proud, its purpose clear: to provide respite from the scorching sun. Its intricate design showcases the craftsmanship of those who sought solace within its cool embrace. We can almost feel the gentle breeze rustling through its leafy canopy. Beneath this sheltered haven lie raised beds bursting with life. Each plant carefully placed and nurtured, creating an organized tapestry of colors and textures. It is a testament to man's desire for order amidst nature's chaos. Hill's book revolutionized gardening practices during his time, providing valuable insights into horticulture techniques that were previously unknown or overlooked. Through his pseudonym Didymus Mountain, he shared his passion for gardens with fellow enthusiasts like Henry Dethick. As we admire this print today, it serves as a reminder of our timeless connection with nature – how humans have always sought refuge under arbours and reveled in tending to their own little pieces of paradise. This image captures not only Hill's artistic talent but also our eternal fascination with cultivating beauty from earth's bounty.
