EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Somerleyton, Suffolk, England. 1880" takes us back in time to the grandeur of the late 19th century. The print showcases Somerleyton, an exquisite Anglo-Italian Elizabethan-style red-brick mansion nestled in the picturesque countryside of Suffolk. Designed by renowned architect John Thomas, this opulent dwelling was built in the 1840s for Sir Morton Peto, a prominent figure of British aristocracy. Every detail of this magnificent manor house exudes elegance and sophistication. The artist behind this remarkable engraving is Alexander Francis Lydon (1836-1917), who skillfully captures the external view of Somerleyton with precision and artistry. The clock adorning its facade was crafted by Benjamin Vulliamy, adding a touch of timeless beauty to the already impressive structure. Not only does this print showcase architectural excellence but also highlights the meticulous landscaping work done by William Andrews Nesfield. The lush gardens surrounding Somerleyton are a testament to his talent as they perfectly complement Sir Joseph Paxton's greenhouse on the estate. As we gaze upon this image from our private collection, we are transported into an era where nobility reigned supreme and society flourished amidst such breathtaking surroundings. It serves as a reminder that even today, centuries later, these architectural marvels continue to captivate our imagination and inspire awe for their timeless beauty.
