EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the grandeur of Audley End House, Essex. Stepping into "The Saloon" we are immediately struck by the opulence and attention to detail that Sir John Griffin Griffin poured into this space during the 1760s. As our eyes wander across the room, we are drawn to the magnificent portraits of Sir John's ancestors proudly displayed within their arched frames. These paintings serve as a testament to his lineage and provide a glimpse into the rich history that permeates every corner of Audley End House. But it is not just the portraits that capture our imagination; it is also impossible to ignore the exquisite plaster ceiling above. Elaborately adorned with intricate designs depicting ships and sea monsters, it serves as a reminder of Britain's maritime heritage and adds an air of enchantment to The Saloon. Photographed by Harry Bedford Lemere in 1891, this image beautifully captures both the timeless elegance and meticulous craftsmanship that define Victorian architecture. It allows us to appreciate not only Audley End House but also showcases Lemere's exceptional talent for capturing historical interiors. In this single frame, we find ourselves transported through centuries, immersed in a world where artistry meets legacy. This print from Historic England offers us a window into an era long gone but forever preserved in its beauty and splendor.
