EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming print by Thomas Rowlandson captures the lively scene at One Tree Hill in Greenwich Park, England during the early 19th century. The hill was a popular spot for young couples to indulge in the traditional hobby of being driven on its slopes, a playful activity that was enjoyed by many despite the strict social norms of the time.
In this colorful etching, we see couples enjoying themselves as they partake in this leisurely pastime. The women are elegantly dressed, with only their feet peeking out from beneath their long skirts - a nod to the modesty expected of them in public. Meanwhile, onlookers of all ages gather around to watch and perhaps catch a glimpse of some innocent flirtation between the pairs.
The scene is filled with whimsy and nostalgia for a simpler time when such innocent pleasures were enough to entertain and delight. The lush greenery of Greenwich Park provides a picturesque backdrop for this delightful moment captured by Rowlandson's skilled hand.
This print serves as a reminder of days gone by when simple joys like taking a stroll on One Tree Hill could bring happiness and laughter to those seeking respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
