EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and detailed coloured engraving, titled "Vauxhall, 1732" takes us back in time to the enchanting Vauxhall Gardens in London. The image captures the lively atmosphere of this popular pleasure garden during the early 18th century. In this bustling scene, we see a diverse group of people engaged in various activities. Mr. Hook and Mrs. Thrale are seen dancing gracefully while Lady Duncannon leads the way with her elegant movements. Oliver Goldsmith and Captain Topham stand nearby, engrossed in conversation as they enjoy the music played by a fiddle conductor. The gardens are filled with joyous melodies as Barthlemen conducts his orchestra, creating an ambiance that entices visitors to sing along. People can be seen indulging in delicious meals at tables adorned with fine linens and exquisite china. Amongst the crowd is Perdita Robinson, James Perry, Mr. Fisher, Sir Harry Bate Dudley, HRH (possibly referring to a member of royalty), Boswell, Devonshire Duchess herself alongside Mrs Weichsell - all relishing their evening at Vauxhall Gardens. Samuel Johnson's presence is also noted as he skillfully plays his hautboy for those who gather around him for a delightful dance or simply to listen intently. This print allows us to witness not only the grandeur of Vauxhall Gardens but also provides a glimpse into the social interactions and pleasures enjoyed by both high society figures and commoners alike during this
