EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Eastnor Castle in Herefordshire, England, as it stood in 1870. The engraving, created by Alexander Francis Lydon and later reproduced by Benjamin Fawcett using the Baxter process, beautifully captures the essence of this retro Norman castle. Built in the 12th-century style by Sir Robert Smirke for John Somers Cocks, Earl Somers in 1815, Eastnor Castle exudes a sense of grandeur and history. Its impressive architecture is brought to life through Lydon's intricate illustration. The color woodblock print allows us to appreciate every detail of this architectural masterpiece. From its towering turrets to its sturdy stone walls, the castle stands proudly against a picturesque backdrop. This external view transports us back to a time when castles were not just structures but symbols of power and prestige. Reverend Francis Orpen Morriss' book "A Series of Picturesque Views of the Seats of Noblemen and Gentlemen of Great Britain and Ireland" immortalizes this iconic landmark within its pages. The image captured here is part of a private collection that has been preserved throughout generations. As we gaze upon this enchanting engraving from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded not only of the rich history embedded within Eastnor Castle but also how art can transport us across time and space.
