Engraved by Godfrey and featured in Walpole's book "Description of Strawberry Hill" this image transports us back to a time of elegance and intellectual pursuits.

The Victorian Gothic design elements add an air of mystery and romance to the room. The play of light and shadow creates an ethereal atmosphere that entices one to explore further.
