EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the House of the Man of Ross, a historic landmark steeped in philanthropic history. The image showcases the grandeur of this 19th-century English estate, which overlooks the bustling market in Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire. Built by John Kyrle, widely known as "the Man of Ross" this architectural masterpiece stands as a testament to his generosity and compassion. The photograph offers a glimpse into life during that era with its cobbled streets and an array of background characters going about their daily activities. A cart pulled by a majestic carthorse adds charm to the scene, reminding us of the importance of road transport in those times. The House itself exudes elegance with its intricate details and imposing structure. Its significance lies not only in its physical beauty but also in its association with John Kyrle's philanthropy. As an esteemed figure in British society, he dedicated his life to improving the lives of others through acts of kindness and charity. This mesmerizing engraving is taken from "Our Own Country". Volume II, published by Cassell and Company Ltd. , London, Paris & Melbourne in 1898. It serves as both a historical artifact and a reminder that even centuries later, we can still appreciate the legacy left behind by remarkable individuals like John Kyrle – forever etched within these walls.
