1666 1670s Burnt Drapers Mulberry Planted Restored
EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting 19th century print depicts Drapers Hall Garden, a historic green space nestled in the heart of London. The garden's origins can be traced back to the early 17th century when mulberry trees were likely planted, possibly under the influence of King James I, who was known for his passion for silk production and the cultivation of mulberry trees. The serene beauty of the garden was, however, disrupted in 1666 when a devastating fire swept through the city, engulfing Drapers Hall and reducing it to ashes. The garden, too, was likely destroyed in the flames. Undeterred, the garden was meticulously restored in the early 1670s, allowing the mulberry trees to once again flourish and providing a tranquil retreat for Londoners. The garden's rich history is a testament to the resilience of the city and its people, who continued to find solace and beauty amidst the challenges of the past. This print offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when London's gardens were an essential source of relaxation and inspiration. The lush greenery, winding paths, and elegant trees depicted in the image are a reminder of the enduring allure of nature and the importance of preserving the past for future generations to enjoy.
