Photographer’s Note

El Bois de la Cambre, es un parque público de Bruselas. El diseño del bosque se le encargó al arquitecto Edouard Keilig, (Saxe, 1827) tras ganar un concurso. Este espacie modelado al estilo inglés del siglo XVIII, imita la naturaleza y se caracteriza por una irregularidad en la concepción de plantaciones y caminos. Esta irregularidad ofrece puntos de vista y perspectivas muy variados. Este lugar se convirtió rápidamente en un centro de ocio de los bruselenses, como el Bois de Boulogne de París. En este bosque, se encontraban una lechería, un velódromo, el Théâtre de Poche, un lago artificial, un hipódromo y paseos para caballos.

The Bois de la Cambre is an urban public park on the edge of the Sonian Forest in Brussels, Belgium. It has an area of 1.23 square kilometres. The park lies in the south of Brussels-Capital Region, is comprised in the municipality of the City of Brussels and is linked to the rest of the municipality by the Avenue Louise, which was built at the same time the park was laid out, in 1861. It comprises a small lake with an island in the centre, called Robinson's island. It is considered by many as one of the finest parks in Brussels.

The park was laid out in 1861 by Edouard Keilig, a German architect. Queen Marie-Henriette, wife of King Leopold II, often went riding in the park.
