EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Powis House, c. 1720" takes us back in time to the grandeur of 18th-century London. The print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail that characterized this era's architecture. The focal point of the image is Powis House, a magnificent townhouse belonging to the Marquess of Powis on Great Ormond Street. Also known as Newcastle House, it stands proudly with its wrought ironwork facade adorned with ornate Corinthian pilasters. The Georgian-style building exudes elegance and sophistication, reflecting the fashionable taste of its time. As we delve deeper into the scene, our eyes are drawn to the impressive gates leading into a forecourt embellished with a beautiful balustrade. This architectural masterpiece was published in Stowes Survey, adding historical significance to its artistic appeal. The print captures not only the physical beauty but also hints at social status through its mention as an embassy location. It evokes curiosity about what transpired within these walls during that period. With Holborn and Lincoln's Inn nearby, this area was undoubtedly at the heart of London's fashion scene during those times—making it an ideal subject for art enthusiasts interested in both history and aesthetics. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from English history for all to admire—a testament to their commitment to showcasing fine art prints that transcend time and inspire generations.
