EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stunning Melton Constable in Norfolk, England. The engraving, created by Alexander Francis Lydon and reproduced by Benjamin Fawcett in the Baxter process, beautifully captures the 17th-century country house designed in the Christopher Wren-style with an Elizabethan interior for Sir Jacob Astley. The photograph highlights not only the architectural grandeur of this private mansion but also its historical significance. The park surrounding Melton Constable features an aviary that was landscaped by Capability Brown during the 18th century, adding to its allure. The image is taken from Reverend Francis Orpen Morriss' "Picturesque Views of the Seats of Noblemen and Gentlemen of Great Britain and Ireland" published in London in 1880. It provides a glimpse into aristocratic society during that era, showcasing their opulent dwellings and luxurious lifestyles. Melton Constable's external view exudes elegance and sophistication, reflecting both British culture and European influences. Its intricate design elements make it a true architectural masterpiece. This print transports viewers back to the late 19th century when such magnificent structures were symbols of nobility and prestige. It serves as a reminder of our rich history while celebrating artistry, architecture, and aristocracy all at once.
