EDITORS COMMENTS
The Old Manor House in Hackney, once the esteemed residence of the Tyssen family, stands proudly amidst the lush greenery of its historic gardens. This exquisite copperplate engraving, created by John Thomas Smith based on original drawings by members of the Society of Antiquaries, offers a captivating glimpse into the past. At the heart of the manor house, a grand old tree, possibly an ancient oak, dominates the scene. Its gnarled branches reach out, providing a sense of history and stability. Surrounding the tree, a riot of color bursts forth from the garden, with peonies, paeonias, moutan, and suffruticosa, all in full bloom. These flowers, beloved for their beauty and desirability during the Victorian era, add an air of elegance and charm to the scene. The manor house itself, with its ornate steps and intricate detailing, exudes an aura of grandeur and refinement. The presence of a greenhouse nearby suggests a keen interest in horticulture and the pursuit of exotic plants. Edwardian gardening was a popular pastime, and the meticulously tended gardens of The Old Manor House would have been a source of pride for its inhabitants. This chromolithograph, a botanical illustration of exceptional quality, invites us to imagine the sights, sounds, and scents of a bygone era. The Old Manor House in Hackney, with its rich history and stunning gardens, continues to inspire a sense of wonder and appreciation for the beauty of the past.
