EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the grandeur of Longleat, a remarkable Elizabethan prodigy house located in Wiltshire, England. Designed by Robert Smythson for Sir John Thynne in 1579, this architectural masterpiece is a testament to the opulence and elegance of its time. The gardens were skillfully landscaped by Capability Brown, while Jeffry Wyatville undertook renovations in the 18th century. The Marquess of Bath calls this magnificent estate home, and it has become an iconic symbol of British heritage. Benjamin Fawcett's color woodblock print beautifully captures the essence of Longleat through the Baxter process, bringing Alexander Francis Lydon's illustration to life. Reverend Francis Orpen Morris's A Series of Picturesque Views of the Seats of Noblemen and Gentlemen of Great Britain and Ireland served as inspiration for this stunning artwork. Published in London in 1880 by William Mackenzie, it offers a glimpse into the architectural wonders that grace both countries. As we gaze upon this engraving from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported back to a time when craftsmanship and attention to detail reigned supreme. This image not only celebrates Longleat but also pays homage to British culture and history. It serves as a reminder that even after centuries have passed since its construction, Longleat continues to stand tall as an enduring symbol of architectural brilliance.
