EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the north-east loggia at Canons Ashby, as seen in 'The English Country House'. The renowned English Photographer beautifully portrays this historic manor house, which has been home to the Dryden family since the 16th century. Intriguingly, our gaze is drawn to a stone object that once held bowls for troco, an early version of lawn billiards preceding croquet. This fascinating detail offers a glimpse into past leisure activities enjoyed by the inhabitants of this grand estate. The image showcases the architectural splendor of Canons Ashby with its elegant arches and charming pew on the terrace. It exudes an air of tranquility and refinement synonymous with stately homes. One can almost imagine a game being played here or envision oneself sitting on one of those inviting benches, taking in the beauty that surrounds them. With its Tudor period influences evident in its design and construction, this Elizabethan manor house stands as a testament to centuries gone by. The photograph expertly captures every intricate detail, making it feel like stepping back in time. Bridgeman Images has skillfully preserved this moment through their lens, allowing us to appreciate not only their artistry but also providing us with a window into history. This print serves as a reminder of our rich architectural heritage and invites us to explore further into England's country houses.
