EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting Vauxhall Gardens in 18th century London. The image showcases a collection of gold, silver, and lead tickets that granted admission to this renowned outdoor haven for entertainment and leisure. Created by artist James Stow in 1912, these intricate designs were originally conceived by the legendary William Hogarth. The photograph provides a close-up view of the delicate metalwork on each ticket, highlighting their exquisite craftsmanship. The facade of the building exterior can be seen in the background, hinting at the grandeur that awaited visitors within these gardens. With its monochrome aesthetic, this studio shot captures both the elegance and nostalgia associated with this iconic British landmark. Vauxhall Gardens was not only a place of amusement but also an important cultural hub during its time. It served as a gathering spot for literature enthusiasts, artists, and socialites alike. This image transports us back to an era when people would eagerly present their precious tickets at the entrance gate before immersing themselves in an evening filled with music, dance performances, fireworks displays, and delightful strolls through beautifully landscaped gardens. Thanks to Sir Walter Besant's book "London - South of Thames" we are able to appreciate this historical treasure today. Through this print collector's lens, we catch a glimpse into a bygone era where artistry met entertainment under starlit skies at Vauxhall Gardens.
