EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Exton House, a magnificent Elizabethan-style mansion located in Rutlandshire, England. The engraving, created by Alexander Francis Lydon and later reproduced by Benjamin Fawcett using the Baxter process, beautifully captures the external view of this architectural masterpiece. Built around 1811 by Sir Gerard Noel, 2nd Baronet of Gainsborough, Exton House holds a rich history that is both awe-inspiring and thought-provoking. It is important to note that Sir Gerard Noel owned enslaved people on Saint Kitts in the West Indies during this time period. The color woodblock engraving allows us to appreciate the intricate details and grandeur of Exton House. Its imposing structure stands as a testament to the opulence and elegance of British architecture in the 19th century. This image is part of Reverend Francis Orpen Morriss' collection titled "A Series of Picturesque Views of the Seats of Noblemen and Gentlemen of Great Britain and Ireland" published in London in 1870 by William Mackenzie. It offers viewers a glimpse into the lives of nobility during this era. As we admire this stunning representation from Bridgeman Images' private collection, let us reflect not only on its artistic beauty but also on its historical context. This photograph serves as a reminder that even seemingly idyllic structures have complex stories behind them – stories that encompass both grandeur and darker aspects intertwined within their walls.
