EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1880 showcases the title page of Reverend Francis Orpen Morriss' "Picturesque Views of the Seats of Noblemen and Gentlemen of Great Britain and Ireland". The focal point is a beautifully detailed vignette depicting Balmoral Castle, located in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. This Scottish Baronial-style granite castle was constructed by William Smith in 1856 for Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. The artist behind this remarkable illustration is Alexander Francis Lydon, known for his architectural works. Benjamin Fawcett skillfully transformed Lydon's artwork into a color woodblock using the Baxter process, resulting in a stunning visual representation. Balmoral Castle stands majestically against a picturesque backdrop, showcasing its grandeur and elegance. Its intricate design elements are highlighted through Lydon's meticulous attention to detail. This print truly captures the essence of Scottish architecture during the late nineteenth century. As you gaze upon this historical masterpiece, you can't help but appreciate how it transports you back to an era when row housing and suburban houses were prevalent throughout Great Britain. It serves as a reminder of British culture and its rich history within Europe. This print provides an opportunity to admire not only the craftsmanship involved in creating such magnificent structures but also to reflect on their significance as symbols of power and prestige during that time period.
