EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Hardwick Hall in Derbyshire, dating back to 1894. Although the creator remains unknown, this image beautifully captures the essence of one of Elizabethan England's most opulent residences. Originally built for Bess of Hardwick, a woman renowned for her immense wealth during that era, this architectural masterpiece was designed by Robert Smythson in the late 16th century. Replacing its predecessor, the Old Hall, Hardwick Hall stands as an exemplary prodigy house from the Elizabethan period. Its grandeur and elegance are evident even through this monochrome depiction. Nestled amidst picturesque Chesterfield countryside, it exudes a timeless charm that has captivated visitors throughout history. The Werner Company of Chicago compiled this photograph as part of their book "Beautiful Britain; views of our stately homes" in 1894. This image transports us back to a time when literature and travel were intertwined with admiration for breathtaking architecture. Hardwick Hall continues to be a prominent tourist attraction today due to its rich historical significance and stunning exterior design. As we gaze upon this print collected by The Print Collector, we cannot help but appreciate how it effortlessly combines elements from both the 16th and 19th centuries.
