EDITORS COMMENTS

Nestled in the village of Camberwell, now part of southeast London, stands his magnificent house built in 1780. The image showcases not only the architectural beauty but also reveals Dr. Lettsom's passion for nature and philanthropy. His garden was an oasis filled with fruit trees, a kitchen garden bursting with fresh produce, and even a hothouse that nurtured exotic plants from America. But it doesn't stop there – classical statues grace the landscape while a small farm teeming with pigs and hens adds charm to this idyllic setting. An aviary and menagerie further enhance its allure, attracting numerous visitors who were captivated by Dr. Lettsom's creation.
