EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the grandeur of Knole, a 15th-century baronial mansion located in Kent, England. The engraving, created by Alexander Francis Lydon and later reproduced by Benjamin Fawcett in the Baxter process, beautifully captures the architectural beauty of this historic building. Knole is constructed using Kentish ragstone and boasts a unique blend of late medieval and Stuart-style architecture. It has been expanded over the centuries to create an impressive manor house that exudes nobility and elegance. Once home to Mortimer Sackville-West, 1st Baron Sackville, it stands as a symbol of aristocracy and opulence. The external view depicted in this artwork allows us to marvel at the intricate details of Knole's design. From its imposing façade to its carefully crafted windows and doorways, every element speaks volumes about the wealth and status of its former inhabitants. As we gaze upon this image from the late 19th century, we are transported back in time to an era when such magnificent dwellings were not only homes but also statements of power within society. This engraving serves as a reminder of Britain's rich architectural heritage and offers us a glimpse into the lives led by those who resided within these stately walls. With its meticulous craftsmanship captured through Lydon's illustration technique, this print is not just an artistic masterpiece but also a historical treasure that celebrates both British culture and European artistry from that period.
