EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "A View of the Menagerie and its Pavilion in the Royal Gardens at Kew, 1763". The original drawing by Thomas Sandby has been beautifully transformed into an engraving by Charles Grignion. The image transports us back to the enchanting world of 18th century London, specifically to the renowned Kew Gardens. In this scene, we are granted a glimpse into the lush royal gardens with their meticulously manicured lawns and vibrant flowerbeds. The grand pavilion stands proudly amidst this natural splendor, exuding elegance and sophistication. However, it is not just the picturesque landscape that captivates our attention; it is also the presence of a menagerie within these regal grounds. As we explore further, we can spot various exotic animals housed within enclosures - a testament to Britain's fascination with collecting creatures from around the world during this era. This print invites us to reflect on both nature's beauty and humanity's desire for discovery and exploration. It serves as a reminder of how historical spaces like Kew Gardens have evolved over time while still preserving their essence.
