Opening of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Plymouth, 1850. Creator: Unknown

Opening of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Plymouth, [Devon], 1850. The grounds are very judiciously laid out and planted, so as to combine the scientific advantage of a "Botanic Garden" with the delights of an archery field and pleasure promenade...Sketch by Mr. Jewitt, of the Plymouth Public Library, [showing] its principal features, as a castellated structure, a large and tasteful fountain, and an orchestra handsomely embellished, and covered with a hood-shaped roof of corrugated iron...We must not omit to mention the Horticultural show, which consisted of beautiful flowers of all descriptions, that had been put in competition for several prizes...The bands of the 23d Royal Welsh Fusiliers and the Royal Marines were in attendance...The gardens were attended by upwards of 6000 people of the highest respectability'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850
