EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the serene beauty of The Ornamental Water in St. James Park, dating back to 1840. As the oldest Royal Park in London, this picturesque landscape holds a rich history within its boundaries. Originally owned by the monarchy for their recreational pursuits, these lands were primarily used for hunting by the royal family. In this image, we see a glimpse of leisurely activities taking place amidst nature's tranquility. A group of people, both men and women, are scattered along the park's edge, enjoying a peaceful day outdoors. They are accompanied by an array of graceful birds gliding across the ornamental lake's surface. St. James Park is renowned for its abundant wildlife and stunning geographical features that have captivated visitors throughout centuries. The ducks gracefully swim alongside one another as they are being fed by a lady who stands at the water's edge. This monochrome snapshot not only offers us a window into 19th-century Britain but also serves as a reminder of how parks like St. James have always been cherished spaces for relaxation and connection with nature within bustling city environments. The print collector responsible for capturing this moment has masterfully preserved an enchanting scene from London's past—a testament to Jacob Larwood’s dedication to documenting The Story of London Parks through his work published by Chatto and Windus in c1870.
