EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enchanting Westwood Park in Worcestershire, England, as it appeared in 1880. The image is an engraving by Alexander Francis Lydon, skillfully reproduced by Benjamin Fawcett using the Baxter process. Westwood Park has a rich history that spans centuries and various architectural styles. Originally an ancient Benedictine monastery, it later transformed into an Elizabethan banqueting hall before becoming a grand stately home with a butterfly-plan layout. This magnificent estate was once the residence of John Pakington, 1st Baron Hampton. The color woodblock engraving beautifully captures the essence of this remarkable structure amidst its picturesque surroundings. Reverend Francis Orpen Morris commissioned Lydon's illustration for his publication titled "A Series of Picturesque Views of the Seats of Noblemen and Gentlemen of Great Britain and Ireland" which was published in London by William Mackenzie. As we gaze upon this image from yesteryear, we are transported back to a time when architecture held great significance and beauty could be found in every detail. The intricate engravings highlight not only the external view but also emphasize the craftsmanship that went into constructing such impressive buildings. This print serves as a testament to British culture and heritage while providing us with a glimpse into Europe's architectural marvels from the late nineteenth century. It is truly a treasure to behold for art enthusiasts and history lovers alike.
