In October 1934, at Trevissome House in Flushing, Mylor, Cornwall, the Stephen Courtaulds found themselves in the company of an unexpected companion - their pet Lemur. Little did they know that this quirky addition to their household would become a beloved member of the family. Fast forward to present day and we find ourselves at The Courtauld Institute in London. Known for its prestigious art collection and academic excellence, it is here that Jockey Tommy Lowrey made his mark in the 20th century. Speaking of art, Somerset House houses The Courtauld Gallery where one can marvel at the stunning staircase designed by William Chambers. Its grandeur and elegance are truly captivating. For those with a taste for Art Deco architecture, Eltham Palace in Greenwich is a must-visit. This historic site not only boasts a magnificent interior but also holds significance as Henry VIII's birthplace. Samuel Courtauld himself was no stranger to greatness. His contributions to society were vast and impactful. Alongside Lady Patricia Moore, he left an indelible mark on history. And let's not forget about fashion. In 1928, women's fashion took center stage with its unique styles and trends that continue to inspire us today. One cannot mention The Courtauld without acknowledging its renowned Manet Bar at the Moulin Rouge exhibit held within the gallery walls. It transports visitors back in time to experience the vibrant energy of Parisian nightlife captured by Edouard Manet's brushstrokes. As we explore England's rich history and cultural heritage through places like Eltham Palace - once again reminding us of Henry VIII's origins - it becomes clear that The Courtauld name has left an enduring legacy across various realms: from art and architecture to fashion and beyond.
