"Exploring the Non-Extant: A Glimpse into Vanished Architectural Marvels" Step back in time and immerse yourself in the captivating world of non-extant architectural wonders. Bubb Dodington's entrance into the forecourt at Eastbury Park, captured on canvas with meticulous brushstrokes, transports us to a bygone era of grandeur and opulence. As we delve deeper into this forgotten realm, Jeremy Musson's black-and-white photographs reveal remnants of the once magnificent forecourt arcade at Eastbury Park. These haunting images offer a glimpse into what was once a bustling hub of activity, now lost to time. The stable wing at Seaton Delaval stands as a testament to Sir John Vanbrugh's genius. Though only captured in monochrome, its architectural splendor still shines through. It serves as a reminder that even though these structures may no longer exist physically, their legacy lives on through art and literature. Amongst these vanished marvels lies the surviving cyclopean gateway at Eastbury Park. Its imposing presence evokes curiosity about what secrets it held within its walls during its heyday. Traveling across borders, we find ourselves enchanted by the Donjon of the Temple in Paris. Through both color engravings and lithographs from different eras, we witness its evolution over centuries – from an illustrious fortress to an enigmatic ruin shrouded in mystery. Closer to home, pen and ink sketches bring forth memories of London's past glory. The ruins of Savoy Palace stand as poignant reminders of history's relentless march forward while offering glimpses into medieval grandeur that once graced our city streets. Paris beckons again with illustrations showcasing views of the Temple throughout various periods – 1450 and 1770 depict contrasting scenes that highlight how time can transform even the most steadfast structures. Finally, we venture beyond Europe’s borders to admire Regent's Park's Colosseum.
