EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a silver pass from the Vauxhall Gardens, dating back to around 1750. The pass is made of metal and was part of the Timothy Millett Collection. The image depicts the obverse side of the token, featuring an elegant female figure personifying Britannia. She stands tall with her flowing robes and regal crown, symbolizing strength and sovereignty. This representation of Britannia has long been associated with British identity. Vauxhall Gardens was a renowned pleasure garden in London during the 18th century, known for its extravagant entertainment and social gatherings. These passes were used as tickets to gain entry into this exclusive venue. The intricate details on this silver pass highlight the craftsmanship of English artists from that era. The fine engravings capture every delicate feature of Britannia's face, showcasing their attention to detail. This photograph not only serves as a glimpse into history but also offers insight into numismatics - the study or collection of coins or tokens. It provides us with a tangible connection to an era when such tokens were highly valued possessions. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this historical artifact through their lens, allowing us to appreciate its artistic significance even today.
