EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur of the drawing room in Highhead Castle, Cumberland. Taken in 1921 by an English photographer, this image is a print from Giles Worsley's book "England's Lost Houses" published in 2002. The room itself is a testament to the opulence and elegance of the 18th century, with its exquisite plasterwork ceiling, wood paneling, and Corinthian pilasters. The intricate details of the interior decor are beautifully showcased in this photograph. Highhead Castle was built in the 1740s but tragically suffered a devastating fire in 1956 that gutted much of its splendor. This image serves as a poignant reminder of what once was, capturing a moment frozen in time before destruction befell this architectural gem. The photo transports us back to an era when Georgian architecture reigned supreme and showcases the craftsmanship that went into creating such magnificent spaces. It offers us a glimpse into history and allows us to appreciate both the beauty and fragility of these lost houses. With its impeccable composition and attention to detail, this photograph exemplifies fine art photography at its best. It stands as a testament to both Worsley's skill as a photographer and his dedication to preserving England's architectural heritage through his work.
