EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the vibrant and lively atmosphere of Vauxhall Gardens, engraved by Robert Pollard and aquatinted by Francis Jukes. Published in 1785 by John Raphael Smith, this coloured aquatint showcases the remarkable talent of Thomas Rowlandson. The image transports us to a world of enchantment and delight as we witness an evening filled with entertainment and merriment. The pleasure garden is teeming with a diverse crowd, eagerly soaking up the musical performances and reveling in the company of others. Soldiers stand among the public, adding an air of excitement to the scene. The orchestra plays energetically on stage while people indulge in drinks from various beverage stalls scattered throughout the gardens. Laughter fills the air as friends gather together, enjoying each other's company amidst this bustling social hub. Notably, Mrs Weichsel, mother of Elizabeth Billington - a renowned singer - can be seen amongst the audience members. Her presence adds a touch of celebrity glamour to this already extraordinary setting. This print serves as both a historical record and an invitation into an era where pleasure gardens were at their zenith. It encapsulates not only a moment frozen in time but also evokes emotions that transcend centuries – joy, camaraderie, and sheer exuberance for life's simple pleasures.
