EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Mamhead House in Devonshire, England, as it stood in 1880. The engraving, created by Alexander Francis Lydon and later reproduced by Benjamin Fawcett using the Baxter process, captures the grandeur of this Elizabethan-style mansion. Designed by Anthony Savin between 1827 and 1833, Mamhead House boasted grounds landscaped by none other than Capability Brown for its new owner, Sir Robert William Newman, 1st Baronet. The house served as a cherished residence for Sir Lydston Newman, 3rd Baronet. Its external view depicted in this woodblock engraving reveals an architectural masterpiece that exudes elegance and sophistication. This image is part of Reverend Francis Orpen Morriss' renowned publication titled "Picturesque Views of the Seats of Noblemen and Gentlemen of Great Britain and Ireland" published in London in 1880. With its intricate details and historical significance, this artwork transports viewers to a time when aristocracy reigned supreme. It beautifully encapsulates the opulence associated with noble families during the nineteenth century. As one gazes upon this print from Fine Art Finder's private collection courtesy of Bridgeman Images, they are transported back to a world where manor houses like Mamhead were symbols of wealth and privilege. This enchanting engraving offers a glimpse into not only architectural brilliance but also British history itself—a testament to both artistry and societal structures that shaped Europe during that era.
