EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Glanusk Park, a magnificent stately home located in Brecknockshire, Wales. Built in 1826 for the esteemed ironmaster Sir Joseph Bailey, this grand residence stood as a testament to architectural splendor and aristocratic opulence. Sadly, its fate took a tragic turn during World War II when it was requisitioned by the army and subsequently damaged by fire. The house met its ultimate demise in 1952 when it was demolished. The image is part of A Series of Picturesque Views of Seats of the Noblemen and Gentlemen of Great Britain and Ireland, edited by Reverend FO Morris. This volume offers an exquisite collection of wood-engraved plates featuring paintings by renowned artists Benjamin Fawcett and Alexander Francis Lydon. In this particular print, nature's beauty harmoniously intertwines with man-made elegance. The lush green lawn stretches out before the majestic building while carefully cultivated gardens add vibrant bursts of color to the scene. Towering trees frame Glanusk Park, creating an idyllic backdrop that exudes tranquility. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are transported back to the 19th century—a time when country houses like Glanusk Park symbolized wealth and prestige within British society. Though now lost to time, this image serves as a poignant reminder of a once-glorious era filled with architectural marvels such as these.
