About this book
Travels in South Kensington, by Moncure Daniel Conway, comes with notes on decorative art and architecture in England. The contents list names, among others, The South Kensington Museum, Decorative Art and Architecture in England, and Bedford Park. The author says that the Londoners would seem to have finally adopted it as a creed that external architecture and gardens must no longer be sought for by individuals, but possessed by all in communal forms, as public edifices, squares, and parks.
The author says London is said to have swallowed up and built over more than three hundred villages, but that in every case the village-green has been spared. The author describes a window whose subject illustrates the history of the Great Charter, with King John in the centre, and Archbishop Langton and Chief Baron Robert Fitzwalter on either side.
