EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Combermere Abbey, a stunning Gothic-style mansion house located in Shropshire, England. The engraving, created by Alexander Francis Lydon and later reproduced by Benjamin Fawcett in the Baxter process, beautifully captures the grandeur of this architectural masterpiece. Built on the grounds of a former monastery, Combermere Abbey was remodeled between 1814-21 by Stapleton Cotton, Viscount Combermere. As owner of several plantations in the West Indies that relied on enslaved labor from Nevis and St. Kitts, Viscount Combermere's wealth and influence are evident in this opulent residence. The image provides an external view of the abbey, showcasing its intricate details and impressive scale. It serves as a testament to the aristocracy and nobility that once inhabited such magnificent dwellings during Britain's 19th century. This engraving is part of Reverend Francis Orpen Morriss' "Picturesque Views of the Seats of Noblemen and Gentlemen of Great Britain and Ireland" published in London in 1880. Its inclusion within this collection speaks to its significance as both a work of art and historical documentation. With its rich history and architectural beauty, this print offers viewers a glimpse into an era defined by grand estates owned by British nobility. It stands as a reminder of the societal structures that shaped Europe during the late 19th century while highlighting the artistic talent behind its creation.
