Légende

The Lake at Clumber, 1861. Grounds of a stately home in Nottinghamshire visited by the Prince of Wales (future King Edward VII). View of '...a fine frigate and a multitude of smaller craft...' with Clumber House in the distance. The boat in the foreground flies the Prince of Wales' flag. 'The bed of the river [Idle] has...been widened into a lake covering more than 100 acres, and the material thus obtained has been judiciously used in varying the level of the surface of the park, which...is as lovely a piece of gently undulating scenery as can well be conceived...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1861.
