EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Drumlanrig Castle, a magnificent Gothic castle located in Dumfriesshire, Scotland. The engraving was created in 1880 by Alexander Francis Lydon and is now part of a private collection. Drumlanrig Castle, built in 1689 by William Douglas, the 1st Duke of Queensberry, stands proudly as a testament to Scottish architecture. Constructed from pink sandstone and renovated in 1827, this grand structure exudes both elegance and strength. The castle served as the residence for William Montagu Douglas Scott, the 6th Duke of Buccleuch during the time this engraving was made. Its rich history and stunning design make it an iconic landmark within Great Britain. The color woodblock technique used by Benjamin Fawcett brings out the intricate details of Lydon's illustration from Reverend Francis Orpen Morriss' book "A Series of Picturesque Views of the Seats of Noblemen and Gentlemen". This printing process known as the Baxter process adds depth and vibrancy to the image. As you gaze upon this enchanting print, you are transported back to late nineteenth-century Scotland. The architectural beauty captured here reflects not only British culture but also European artistry at its finest. This remarkable piece captures more than just a building; it encapsulates an era where craftsmanship reigned supreme. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, we can still appreciate and marvel at these timeless works of art.
