EDITORS COMMENTS
Cliveden," the magnificent country house situated in Taplow, Buckinghamshire, England, was a breathtaking masterpiece in the early 20th century. Built between 1850 and 1851, the house was designed by Sir Charles Barry, showcasing a stunning blend of Gothic Revival and Italianate architectural styles. The estate's landscape, which dates back to the 16th century, was transformed into a picturesque garden paradise by William Waldorf Astor from 1893 and later by Norah Lindsay from 1924. In this photograph, taken in 1925, we see the grandeur of Cliveden in its full glory. The image captures the house's intricate details, including the impressive pavilion and the tranquil pond reflecting the building's beauty. The surrounding gardens, with their meticulously designed terraces, statues, and topiary, add to the estate's allure. At the time, the house was owned by Nancy Langhorne Astor and her husband, Viscount Waldorf Astor. Nancy Astor, an American-born socialite and politician, was the first female Member of Parliament in the United Kingdom. Her husband, Willie Astor, was a wealthy American businessman and politician who had purchased Cliveden in 1893. This evocative black-and-white photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston, offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of Cliveden during the 1920s. The image is a testament to the enduring beauty of this historic estate and its significance as a cultural and tourist attraction.
