EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting Knole Park in Kent, once the majestic seat of His Grace the Duke of Dorset. Created by artist Michael Angelo Rooker in 1775, this engraving beautifully captures the essence of rural life and nature during the 18th century. Knole Park holds a rich history, dating back to its transformation from a medieval archbishop's palace into a Renaissance mansion in the early 17th century. It served as both an inspiration for renowned writer and gardener Vita Sackville-West, who spent her childhood here, and as a setting for Virginia Woolf's literary masterpiece "Orlando" which was inspired by Vita herself. The image showcases a serene countryside scene with lush trees dotting the landscape. A graceful horse carries its rider through this idyllic setting, evoking a sense of tranquility and rustic charm. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to every detail captured by Rooker's skilled hand. As we admire this print, we are transported to another era where stately homes like Knole stood proudly amidst England's picturesque countryside. Its timeless beauty continues to captivate viewers today, reminding us of our connection with nature and our heritage.
