EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting beauty of Stourhead Park in Wiltshire, England. The meticulously landscaped gardens, crafted by Henry Hoare II between 1741 and 1780, are a testament to his artistic vision. One of the park's most striking features is the large lake, which adds a sense of tranquility and serenity to the surroundings. In this particular image, we are drawn to the majestic Pantheon structure designed by Henry Flitcroft around 1753. Standing tall amidst lush greenery and reflected in the calm waters of the lake, it serves as an eye-catching focal point within this picturesque landscape. Photographer Eric de Mare expertly captures not only the grandeur of Stourhead Park but also its ethereal essence. His lens skillfully frames both nature's reflection on water and man-made architectural marvels with equal admiration. Dating back to sometime between 1945 and 1980 when this photograph was taken, it offers us a glimpse into a bygone era where time seemed to stand still. It reminds us that even though centuries have passed since its creation, Stourhead Park continues to inspire awe and captivate visitors from all walks of life. Eric de Mare's photographic prowess allows us to appreciate not just historical landmarks like Stourhead Park but also their enduring significance as they seamlessly blend with nature's splendor.
