EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Plan of ye Royal Palace and Gardens of Kensington, 1736" takes us back in time to the grandeur of London's past. Created by John Rocque, a renowned British cartographer, this print offers a detailed birds-eye view of Kensington Palace and its magnificent gardens. The image showcases the formal layout of the palace grounds with meticulously designed avenues and neatly arranged trees. The River Thames gracefully flows nearby, adding an element of tranquility to the scene. This plan not only serves as a visual representation but also provides valuable insight into the architectural vision behind this royal residence. Situated just two miles from London in Middlesex County, Kensington Palace has long been associated with royalty. Its regal presence is evident in every stroke of Rocque's engraving. As we explore this historical artwork, we can almost imagine strolling through these gardens alongside kings and queens from centuries past. This print transports us to a bygone era when opulence was celebrated through art and design. It invites us to marvel at the meticulous planning that went into creating such an exquisite space for royalty to reside. Preserved within the British Museum in London today, this engraving allows us to appreciate both Rocque's skill as a cartographer and his ability to capture the essence of one of England's most prestigious landmarks.
