Chrysanthemums, in the Inner Temple Garden, 1854. Creator: Unknown
Chrysanthemums, in the Inner Temple Garden, 1854. The collection...consists of above 200 varieties...Accordingly, this year's display is one of the best shows of the kind, and much credit is due to Mr. Broome, the gardener to the Hon. Society of the Inner Temple, for the care and attention he has bestowed upon rearing this beautiful flower...at a season when most other flowers have disappeared. It is curious, also, to witness such a display of delicate colour in the heart of the metropolis, in defiance of the "smoke nuisance"...the Horticultural Journal...remarked: "Look at the Temple Gardens, in the midst of water-side factory chimneys vomiting black smoke, yet always kept as clean and bright as a new pin. Nursery maids and children can walk about there as free from dirt as if they were in the country, and all this for the difference of a few pounds a year to the gardener"'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854

Chrysanthemums in Bloom at the Inner Temple Garden, 1854: A Vibrant Spectacle Amidst Victorian London's Industrial Smog This photograph captures the radiant beauty of chrysanthemums in full bloom at the Inner Temple Garden in 1854. The collection, tended by the diligent gardener, Mr. Broome, boasted over 200 varieties, making it one of the most impressive displays of its kind during that era. Amidst the heart of Victorian London, where most other flowers had wilted away, this stunning floral show defied the odds and thrived. The Inner Temple Garden, nestled in the midst of the metropolis, was an extraordinary sight to behold. Despite the relentless smoke emanating from water-side factories, the garden remained impeccably clean and bright. The Horticultural Journal marveled at this feat, noting, "Look at the Temple Gardens, in the midst of water-side factory chimneys vomiting black smoke, yet always kept as clean and bright as a new pin. Nursery maids and children can walk about there as free from dirt as if they were in the country, and all this for the difference of a few pounds a year to the gardener." The chrysanthemums' vibrant colors stood in stark contrast to the industrial smog that enveloped the city, creating a breathtaking tableau. Their resilience and allure served as a testament to the dedication of Mr. Broome and the enduring charm of nature, even in the face of London's formidable industrial landscape.
