VAUXHALL GARDENS, VAUXHALL

VAUXHALL GARDENS, VAUXHALL

The Italian Walk at Vauxhall Gardens, Vauxhall. A contemporary report recorded: 'The trees in these gardens are scattered here with a pleasing confusion. At some distance are several notable vistas of very tall trees, where spaces between each are filled up with neat hedges, and on the inside are planted flowers and sweet-smelling shrubs. Some of these vistas terminate in a view of ruins, and others in a prospect of the adjacent country, and some are adorned with the painted representation of triumphal arches'. Engraving by W.P., c.1830.
