EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Floors Castle, a magnificent country house located in Roxburghshire, Scotland. Built in the 1720s by architect William Adam for John Ker, the 1st Duke of Roxburghe, this architectural masterpiece was later enhanced with turrets and battlements by William Playfair for James Innes-Ker, the 6th Duke. The engraving captures the external view of Floors Castle in all its grandeur. The artist, Alexander Francis Lydon, skillfully depicts every intricate detail of this historic building. The color woodblock technique used by Benjamin Fawcett adds depth and richness to the illustration. Dating back to 1880, this engraving is part of Reverend Francis Orpen Morris's collection titled "Picturesque Views of the Seats of Noblemen and Gentlemen of Great Britain and Ireland". It offers viewers a glimpse into the opulent homes that adorned British landscapes during that era. The image transports us to a time when architecture was celebrated as an art form. Its presence evokes feelings of awe and admiration for both the craftsmanship involved in creating such structures and their historical significance. As we gaze upon this enchanting print from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we are reminded not only of Scotland's rich heritage but also how these stately homes continue to captivate our imaginations centuries later.
