Parterre Et Paradis - A Glimpse into the Late Victorian Botanical Spectacle
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a momentous scene from the late nineteenth century in England. The engraving, created by Gustave Dore and inspired by Louis Enault's book Londres, takes us back to an era where natural history and scientific exploration were at their peak. In this image, we find ourselves amidst a bustling crowd of spectators gathered in what appears to be a grand botanical garden. Towering trees frame the scene, creating an enchanting backdrop for the unfolding spectacle. As our eyes wander through the print, we can almost feel the excitement emanating from the onlookers. The focal point of this illustration is undoubtedly a significant event - none other than the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race. This iconic sporting tradition brought together people from all walks of life to witness this thrilling competition between two prestigious universities. Beyond its sporting significance, Parterre Et Paradis also showcases Britain's passion for botany and scientific methods during that time period. It serves as a testament to Great Britain's commitment to advancing knowledge in these fields. With its intricate details and historical context, this print offers us not only a visual feast but also invites us to delve deeper into British culture and European history during this transformative era.
