EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1880 showcases the grandeur of Bestwood Lodge in Nottinghamshire, England. Designed by Samuel Sanders Teulon for William Beauclerk, the 1st Duke of St. Albans, this stately home stands on the grounds that were once a medieval hunting lodge frequented by King Charles II and his mistress Nell Gwyn. The intricate detail captured in this color woodblock print is a testament to Benjamin Fawcett's skill in using the Baxter process. The illustration itself was created by Alexander Francis Lydon and featured in Reverend Francis Orpen Morris's "Picturesque Views of the Seats of Noblemen and Gentlemen of Great Britain and Ireland". Bestwood Lodge exudes an air of aristocracy with its impressive architecture and elegant design. This external view allows us to appreciate its magnificence as it proudly stands amidst lush greenery.

Bestwood Lodge serves as a reminder of a time when nobility reigned supreme. With its rich history and architectural beauty, this engraving captures not only a moment frozen in time but also represents an era filled with opulence and grandeur. It is truly a remarkable piece that showcases both artistry and historical significance.
