EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts a breathtaking view of the Royal Baths Park in Warsaw, Poland, during the 19th century. The scene focuses on the Palace on the Isle, which was originally built in the 17th century as a summer residence for the Polish monarchs. The palace, located on the Isle of the Vistula River, was later rebuilt in the Neoclassical style during the 18th century under the orders of King Stanislaw August Poniatowski II Augustus. The Palace on the Isle is surrounded by the lush greenery of the Royal Baths Park, which was designed by the Dutch architect Tylman van Gameren and the Polish architects Stanislaw Szczesny Hollar and Jakub Fontana. The park features a scenic canal, with trees lining its banks, and is home to various neoclassical buildings and pavilions. In the foreground of the engraving, we can see the facade of the Palace on the Isle, adorned with intricate details and columns. The palace's name, "Lazienki," translates to "baths," reflecting the therapeutic waters that were believed to flow beneath the palace. The palace's name is also a nod to its original function as a royal bathhouse. The engraving was created by the renowned engravers Lemaitre, Vormser, and Lepetit, and was published in the "History of Poland" by Charles Foster. The panoramic view provides a glimpse into the urban landscape of Warsaw during the 19th century, showcasing the city's rich history and architectural beauty.
