EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the grandeur of Burghley House, a magnificent Tudor mansion nestled in the picturesque county of Lincolnshire. Built in the 16th century for William Cecil, Lord Burghley, who served as Lord High Treasurer to Queen Elizabeth I, this stately home stands as a testament to both architectural brilliance and aristocratic opulence. Surrounded by meticulously landscaped gardens and parkland designed by renowned landscape architect Capability Brown in the late 18th century, Burghley House exudes an air of timeless elegance. The vibrant colors captured in this print bring to life the splendor of its exterior and highlight its significance as one of Britain's most esteemed country houses. The Marquis of Exeter has called this historic residence home since it was passed down through generations. Its rich history is beautifully depicted through wood-engraved plates after paintings by Benjamin Fawcett and Alexander Francis Lydon. Their artistic prowess truly captures the essence of Burghley House's regal charm.
