EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Guys Cliffe, Warwickshire, the former residence of the Percy family in approximately 1880. The grand house, constructed on the grounds of a priory that was closed during the Dissolution of the Monasteries, dates back to 1751. Sadly, today it stands as a ruin, evoking a sense of both mystery and history. The image is taken from A Series of Picturesque Views of Seats of the Noblemen and Gentlemen of Great Britain and Ireland, edited by Reverend FO Morris. This volume offers a glimpse into the opulent homes belonging to aristocrats across Britain and Ireland during this time period. The wood-engraved plate used for this particular print was created by Benjamin Fawcett and Alexander Francis Lydon. Their artistic skills beautifully capture not only the architectural details but also highlight nature's presence with its surrounding gardens filled with plants and trees. The River Avon gracefully flows nearby, adding an element of tranquility to this picturesque scene. As we admire this enchanting print, we are transported back to England in the late 18th or early 19th century when country houses like Guys Cliffe were symbols of wealth and prestige among aristocrats. Today it serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and provides us with an opportunity to appreciate both its architectural beauty and natural surroundings captured through Benjamin Fawcett's exquisite engraving technique.
