EDITORS COMMENTS

The image captures a group of women indulging in their passion for gardening amidst an array of colorful flowers. The women depicted in this etching and engraving with watercolor are portrayed with exaggerated hairstyles, adding a touch of humor to the scene. Their intricate hairdos seem to mirror the intricacy and care they put into tending to their beloved flower garden. Matthew Darly's artistic concept not only celebrates the artistry found within nature but also highlights the importance of female involvement in horticulture during this period. It serves as a testament to how women played an essential role in creating and maintaining these stunning landscapes. This print now resides at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), where it continues to captivate visitors with its charm and historical significance. As we gaze upon "The Flower Garden, May 1,1777" we are transported back to a time when gardens were not just places for cultivation but also spaces for creativity, leisure, and socializing.
