EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic east front and part of the grounds at Deepdene, a lost treasure of England's architectural heritage. The image is taken from Giles Worsley's book "England's Lost Houses" published in 2002, which serves as a poignant reminder of the grandeur that once graced our landscapes. Deepdene was originally built between 1769-75 by William Gowan for Charles Howard, later known as the 10th Duke of Norfolk. In 1807, it changed hands when Thomas Hope acquired the property. Hope commissioned William Atkinson to remodel Deepdene in 1818-19, adding his own touch to its neo-classical architecture. Sadly, this magnificent stately home met its demise in 1969 when it was demolished. However, through this photograph captured by an anonymous English photographer from the 20th century and preserved by Country Life magazine, we can still appreciate its beauty. The image showcases not only the impressive exterior but also hints at the splendor that lay within its Italianate gardens. The carefully manicured grounds were a testament to Deepdene's regency style and Georgian architecture. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we are transported back to a time when Deepdene stood proudly amidst lush greenery—a symbol of wealth and sophistication. It serves as a visual record of what has been lost but also reminds us to cherish and preserve our architectural treasures for future generations.
