This print captures the essence of a grand Garden Party on Parliament Hill, showcasing the proposed extension of Hampstead-Heath. The engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, offers a glimpse into an extraordinary event that took place in London. The image portrays a vibrant scene filled with tents and marquees set against the backdrop of Parliament Hill. British warriors and esteemed individuals like Mr. Shaw Lefevre can be seen mingling amidst the lush greenery, adding to the air of prestige surrounding this gathering. The garden party itself appears to be taking place at Ken Wood, where ancient burial mounds and tumuli add an element of mystery to this already enchanting setting. It is reputed as one of society's most anticipated events during that time period. As we delve deeper into this visual masterpiece, we are drawn towards Mr. Shaw Lefevre addressing his guests from atop a hill overlooking the proposed extension area for Hampstead Heath. His commanding presence signifies both his importance within London society and his dedication to preserving natural beauty for future generations.
