Sri Lanka's Nuwara Eliya takes us on a journey to The Grand Hotel, once home to Sir Edward Barnes, offering a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of the elite. Amidst all grandeur and leisurely pursuits, even Queen Elizabeth I herself found time for amusement. As depicted in the vibrant lithograph titled "The Armada must wait until I have finished my game, " Her Majesty's love for tennis was undeniable.

Portraits also capture notable personalities like Philip Sidney – an English poet and courtier whose words continue to inspire generations. These images provide insight into their lives and contributions to literature and society. Beyond individuals' portraits lie engravings showcasing domestic architecture and costume from this remarkable period. They transport us back to a time when intricate designs adorned majestic buildings while fashion reflected elegance and refinement.
