Description
View of HRH the Princess Elizabeth's Cottage known as The Garden House, at Old Windsor with a view of the Moss House Below; a garden in front; trees throughout the scene; a body of water beyond a fence in the left-hand distance. Bears poem etched below image, on either side of the image of the Moss House: 'Shepards now is the Month of the May, / In a band let our village unite, / To you Cottage with flowers let us stray, / The Mansion of rural delight; / What a beautious elysium around, / Here peace and simplicity reign, / Here the birds an asylum have found, / And with carols enliven the scene / O may verdure for ever appear / Unfading the verdure of spring. / No tempest be heard through the year, But Zephyr with health on his wing; / Sweet Cottage our chaplets receive, / Whom with envy 'een cites must see, / When Eliza can Palaces leave, / For the charms of retirement in thee'.
