Refreshment Room - Royal Botanic Societys Gardens, 1844. Creator: Unknown
Refreshment Room - Royal Botanic Societys Gardens, 1844. The spring exhibition of this society was held on Tuesday at the inner circle of the Regents Park [in London]; and, taking into consideration the early period of the year, the show was certainly the finest of the kind we have ever witnessed. An intimation of the rarity and forwardness of the specimens for exhibition succeeded in attracting the attention of Royalty. Her Majesty and Prince Albert, attended by the Marchioness of Douro, Colonel Buckley, and Colonel Bouverie, had, before the public were admitted, a private view of the plants and flowers. The weather was beautifully fine, and the grounds were crowded by a numerous and fashionable company. From " Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol I

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1844, capturing a moment in time at the Refreshment Room of the Royal Botanic Society's Gardens. The scene is set in London's picturesque Regents Park, where nature enthusiasts gathered for the society's spring exhibition. The image showcases a beautifully designed marquee, serving as a charming café within the lush garden landscape. This temporary structure stands proudly amidst an array of vibrant flowers and plants, creating an enchanting atmosphere that beckons visitors to indulge in refreshments while surrounded by natural beauty. Notably, this particular exhibition garnered attention from none other than Royalty itself. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were granted a private viewing before opening it up to the public. Accompanied by esteemed guests such as the Marchioness of Douro and Colonels Buckley and Bouverie, they admired rare specimens showcased with great pride. The weather on that day was described as "beautifully fine" drawing numerous fashionable individuals who flocked to witness this extraordinary floral festival. As captured by an unknown creator, this historic engraving transports us back to a time when horticulture reigned supreme and gardens served as havens for both relaxation and admiration. This print serves not only as a visual delight but also offers us a glimpse into 19th-century British culture—a testament to our enduring fascination with nature's wonders throughout history.
