EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty of Great Fosters, a 16th-century mansion nestled within the enchanting Windsor Great Park. Painted by the talented artist James Ogilvy in 1911 and later published in his book "A Pilgrimage In Surrey" this image transports us back to a bygone era. Originally serving as the London residence of Sir John Dodderidge, an esteemed Judge of the Kings Bench and former Solicitor General to King James I, Great Fosters exudes grandeur and history. Its stately presence is enhanced by its lush surroundings, with meticulously manicured gardens that add an air of tranquility. Legend has it that this magnificent estate played a role in one of England's most intriguing stories - it is believed that King George III sought solace within these very walls during his battle with insanity. The regal aura emanating from Great Fosters seems fitting for such a significant historical event. Ogilvy's artistic prowess shines through in this print, capturing every intricate detail and architectural nuance with precision. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, we are transported into a world where time stands still and history comes alive. This print serves as both a testament to Great Fosters' enduring legacy and Ogilvy's remarkable talent as an artist.
