Uncoloured photographic postcard of trees in Richmond Park. Ink: c/o Messrs Lloyd Ltd [address] 12/4/25 Kind thoughts & good wishes to you both this Easter. Marjorie van Someren Godfery [address in Malta supplied]. Richmond Park was an area near Richmond Palace, turned into a deer park by Charles I in 1625; he further enclosed the land in 1637. In the early 19th century Richmond Park was separated from Richmond Gardens, which was added to Kew Gardens. The park was opened fully to the public in 1872, and Edward VII developed sports pitches and other public amenities at the beginning of the 20th century
