EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Knole, a magnificent stately home located near Sevenoaks in Kent, England. The house, dating back to the 15th century, was originally built by Thomas Bourchier, Archbishop of Canterbury. However, its ownership changed hands over time and it eventually became the residence of Lord Sackville in 1566 after being gifted by Queen Elizabeth I to her cousin. The image captures the grandeur and architectural beauty of Knole with its medieval charm. The intricate details of the building's exterior are highlighted in this colorful print from A Series of Picturesque Views of Seats of the Noblemen and Gentlemen of Great Britain and Ireland. The wood-engraved plates were skillfully created by Benjamin Fawcett and Alexander Francis Lydon. Surrounded by lush parkland and adorned with vibrant plants and trees, Knole exudes an air of aristocracy that is synonymous with British heritage. Its historical significance as a former archbishop's residence adds to its allure. This print not only serves as a visual delight but also offers a glimpse into England's rich history during both the Middle Ages and the 19th century. It transports viewers back in time to experience the splendor associated with country houses like Knole while appreciating nature's beauty intertwined with human craftsmanship.
