Rydal Mount: the Residence of Mr. Wordsworth, from an original drawing, 1850. Gardeners scything the lawn at the home of poet William Wordsworth, between Ambleside and Keswick in Cumberland, (now Cumbria). He lived at Rydal Mount from 1813 until his death in 1850. The Mount is..."a lovely cottage-like building, almost hidden by a profusion of roses and ivy"; and the view from the grassy mound in front of his house is very fine. Loughrigg Fell is seen immediately in front, with Nab Scar rising behind. There are several terraces at the back, from which the view becomes beautifully extended, overlooking the house. Windermere, as well as Rydal Water and Grasmere, is to be seen from this beautiful spot. Our...view is taken from the grounds in the rear of the house'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850

EDITORS COMMENTS
Rydal Mount: The Residence of Mr. Wordsworth, 1850, is an enchanting print depicting the beautiful grounds of the poet William Wordsworth's home in the English Lake District. The image captures two gardeners in traditional attire, gracefully scything the lush lawn, surrounded by a profusion of roses and ivy. Wordsworth lived at Rydal Mount from 1813 until his death in 1850, and the cottage-like building, now hidden from view, was a beloved retreat for the renowned poet. The view from the grassy mound in front of his house is breathtaking, with Loughrigg Fell immediately in sight and Nab Scar rising in the background. The scene extends further, offering a panoramic view of Windermere, Rydal Water, and Grasmere. This view is taken from the grounds in the rear of the house, where several terraces provide an extended perspective. Rydal Mount was a popular tourist attraction during the Victorian era, and this print was published in the Illustrated London News in 1850. The image captures the essence of the picturesque Lake District, with its beautiful landscapes and rich literary history. The gardeners' peaceful work in the grounds of Rydal Mount serves as a testament to the tranquility and beauty of this enchanting place.
