EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Cliveden," showcases the magnificent Viscount Waldorf Astor house located in Taplow, Buckinghamshire, England, in 1925. The house, designed by Sir Charles Barry and built between 1850 and 1851, stands as a testament to the grandeur and elegance of the 19th century. The estate was first acquired by William Waldorf Astor in 1893, and later passed to Norah Lindsay in 1924. In 1925, Nancy Langhorne Astor and her husband, Viscount Waldorf Astor, became the proud owners. The image, created by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston, captures the essence of Cliveden's beauty with its hand-coloured and meticulously tinted details. The formal gardens, filled with vibrant herbaceous borders, topiary, and an array of flowers, frame the house in a picturesque manner. The hedges, with their precise lines, add to the order and symmetry of the landscape. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to imagine the lives of the wealthy and influential individuals who once called Cliveden their home. The perspective of the image, with its strategic use of a lantern slide, allows us to tour the estate from the comfort of our own homes, making it a valuable addition to any collection of heritage art and garden design. Cliveden, with its rich history and stunning beauty, continues to be a popular tourist attraction and a symbol of the grandeur and elegance of the English countryside.
