Section of the Tijou Screen, late 17th century, (1881). Etching of one of the twelve sections of a wrought iron screen, designed c1690 by the Huguenot ironworker Jean Tijou for the gardens at Hampton Court Palace, (west London). The gardens were remodelled in the late 18th century by George III, and as there was no longer room for the screen, it was lent to the South Kensington Museum by Queen Victoria. It was later restored and returned to its original position at the end of the Privy Garden fronting the River Thames. From "The South Kensington Museum", a book of engraved illustrations, with descriptions, of the works of art in the collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum in London (formerly known as the South Kensington Museum). [Sampson Low, Marston, Searle and Rivington, London, 1881]
