EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a rare artifact from the early 19th century - a silver entry ticket to Vauxhall Gardens in 1808. The oval-shaped token, with its intricate design and fine craftsmanship, transports us back to an era of opulent pleasure gardens and extravagant entertainment. Vauxhall Gardens was renowned as one of London's most popular social destinations during this period. It offered a haven for the upper classes to indulge in music, dancing, dining, and leisurely strolls amidst beautifully landscaped gardens. This ticket served as both an entrance pass and a symbol of status for those fortunate enough to experience the delights within. The obverse side of the ticket reveals delicate engravings that depict scenes reminiscent of the enchanting atmosphere found within Vauxhall Gardens. Its elegant charm is further enhanced by its silver composition, adding an air of exclusivity to this historical memento. Preserved through time in remarkable condition, this precious relic now resides in the Timothy Millett Collection. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded not only of the grandeur enjoyed by past generations but also of our enduring fascination with capturing moments of joy and escapism. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured every minute detail so that admirers can appreciate this exquisite piece without commercial intentions. Through their lens, we are transported into history's embrace - where beauty meets nostalgia and imagination takes flight.
