EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the grandeur of Hamilton Palace, located in South Lanarkshire, Scotland. Once the largest non-royal residence in the western world, this magnificent structure was home to the esteemed Duke of Hamilton during the late 19th century. Built in the 1690s and expanded with the addition of its North Front in 1842, Hamilton Palace stood as a testament to architectural brilliance. Sadly, this opulent house met its demise in the 1920s when it was demolished. However, this print allows us to glimpse into its former glory and appreciate its remarkable beauty. The image portrays an exquisite exterior view of Hamilton Palace surrounded by lush parkland and enchanting gardens. The vibrant colors captured by Benjamin Fawcett and Alexander Francis Lydon's wood-engraved plates bring life to every detail - from the majestic trees lining a picturesque path to carefully cultivated plants adorning the landscape. This scene transports us back to a time when aristocracy reigned supreme, showcasing both nature's splendor and man-made elegance. As we admire this historic photograph, we are reminded of Scotland's rich heritage and stately homes that once graced its countryside. The legacy left behind by Hamilton Palace is one that continues to captivate our imagination today.
