EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur of "The Painted Dining Room, Drakelowe Hall" in Derbyshire. The room, completed in 1793 by Paul Sandby, showcases exquisite c18th decoration and picturesque style. The walls are adorned with intricate wall paintings depicting a lush landscape and a charming rustic fireplace adds to the ambiance. Sadly, this Elizabethan mansion owned by the Gresley family met an unfortunate fate when it was demolished in 1938 to make way for an electric power station. However, parts of this magnificent dining room were salvaged and can now be found on display at the Victoria and Albert Museum. The photographer skillfully captures the essence of this lost stately home, allowing us to appreciate its beauty even after its destruction. The attention to detail is evident as every brushstroke and architectural element is brought to life through photography. This image serves as a poignant reminder of England's lost houses and their historical significance. It transports viewers back in time, providing a glimpse into the opulence that once graced these grand estates. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this piece of history through their collection of fine art prints. This particular photograph from "England's Lost Houses" by Giles Worsley offers a window into a world that has long since vanished but continues to captivate our imagination.
