Note: George Samuel Elgood was an English artist and illustrator, known for his views of formal and historic gardens, travelling throughout England, France, Spain and Italy in the course of his professional life. Many of his pictures were used to illustrate ‘Some English Gardens’ (1904) by the famous garden designer Gertrude Jekyll and ‘Italian Gardens’ (1907) which Elgood wrote himself.
At the beginning of the 20th century he settled in an old 16thcentury timbered house called “Knockwood” in Tenterden, Kent, where he designed and constructed his own formal garden in the grounds.
