Corsham Court, Wiltshire, home of Lord Methuen, c1880
Corsham Court, Wiltshire, home of Lord Methuen, c1880. The manor of Corsham Court was in royal hands supposedly from the days of Ethelred the Unready until the reign of Elizabeth I. The house was built in the 1580s by Thomas Smythe and passed into the hands of the Methuen family in the mid 18th century. The house and gardens were remodelled by Capability Brown in the 1760s, representing probably his most important commission after Blenheim Palace. A print from A Series of Picturesque Views of Seats of the Noblemen and Gentlemen of Great Britain and Ireland, edited by Reverend FO Morris, Volume II, William Mackenzie, London, c1880. Wood-engraved plates after paintings by Benjamin Fawcett and Alexander Francis Lydon

Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card.

Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Corsham Court, located in Wiltshire, England. Once a royal property dating back to the days of Ethelred the Unready, this stately home has a rich history that spans centuries. Built in the 1580s by Thomas Smythe, it later came under the ownership of Lord Methuen and his family in the mid-18th century. Renowned landscape architect Capability Brown left his mark on Corsham Court during the 1760s when he redesigned both its house and gardens. This prestigious commission is considered one of Brown's most significant projects after Blenheim Palace. The image captures not only the grandeur of this architectural masterpiece but also highlights its picturesque surroundings. The vibrant colors bring to life every detail of this historic building and its lush garden. Printed as part of "A Series of Picturesque Views" edited by Reverend FO Morris, this wood-engraved plate was created by talented artists Benjamin Fawcett and Alexander Francis Lydon. Their skillful rendering perfectly captures both the exterior beauty and serene ambiance that make Corsham Court a true gem among country houses. This print offers viewers a glimpse into an era defined by aristocracy and British heritage while celebrating the remarkable talent behind its creation – from Capability Brown's visionary designs to Fawcett and Lydon's artistic prowess. It serves as a timeless reminder of our cultural legacy and invites us to appreciate both architecture and nature harmoniously intertwined at Corsham Court.
