These pages have been made by Nina Pope as part of a commission for a temporary artwork for Lee Valley Park. The pages you are accessing here form half of the project - they are complimented by a series of engraved metal panels in the Park itself. Each panel is situated in the location that the photographs were taken, and they each display the URL for that view. You can see the drawings that appear on the panels by clicking on these titles:
racetrack...model...country pub...paradise...rural idyll...holiday homes
I hope that by placing the panels in apparently everyday locations, regular visitors to the area will look again at the park - or perhaps visit an area formerly unknown to them; and that by placing elements of the park onto the internet, a wide audience will be drawn to it, as they were to the pleasure park. The Victorian 'oracle of wonders' is replaced here by a contemporary optical toy and veiwers both local and global are able to scroll around the minature scenery -
