EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Regal Retreat: The Hermitage at Frogmore, Windsor - A Palladian-Inspired Thatched Cottage Folly Designed by Princess Elizabeth The Hermitage at Frogmore, Windsor, is a charming thatched cottage folly nestled in the picturesque grounds of Frogmore House. This enchanting structure, designed by Princess Elizabeth, the daughter of King George II and Queen Caroline, is a testament to the Regency era's fascination with picturesque landscapes and architectural innovation. The Hermitage, depicted in this handcoloured copperplate engraving by John Gendall from Rudolph Ackermann's Repository of Arts, London, 1823, is a delightful blend of Palladian villa design and rustic charm. The architectural influences are evident in the classical columns and symmetrical windows, while the thatched roof and quaint garden add a touch of whimsy and romance. Princess Elizabeth, known for her love of art and architecture, was inspired by the hermitages she had seen during her travels in Europe. She enlisted the help of renowned architects William Kent and Richard Boyle, 3rd Earl of Burlington, to bring her vision to life. The result was a charming retreat that became a popular destination for members of the aristocracy and landed gentry seeking respite from the hustle and bustle of court life. The Hermitage at Frogmore, Windsor, remains a beloved architectural gem, showcasing the Regency era's appreciation for the beauty of nature and the artistry of design. This engraving offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the pursuit of beauty and creativity was a cherished pastime of the elite.
