EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Dunster Castle in Somerset, England, during the year 1910. Perched atop a steep hill known as the Tor, this former motte and bailey castle has stood as a symbol of fortification since ancient times. The image captures the grandeur of this historic structure, which has been fortified since the late Anglo-Saxon period. The castle's rich history is reflected in its ownership by notable families throughout centuries. In particular, it was sold to the esteemed Luttrell family at the end of the 14th century. They remained custodians of Dunster Castle until recent times, adding their own touch to its interior with exquisite furniture and architectural details. This photograph offers a glimpse into one of Dunster Castle's magnificent rooms. The arched entrance leads us into an opulent space that exudes elegance and charm. It transports us back to an era when aristocracy reigned supreme in Britain. Originally featured in The Connoisseur Vol XXVIII magazine published by Otto Limited in London during 1910, this print holds immense historical value. Preserved through time by The Print Collector29 collection, it allows us to appreciate both the beauty of Dunster Castle and its significance within British heritage.
