EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Mount Edgcumbe in Cornwall, once the esteemed residence of Lord Mount Edgcumbe. Dating back to the mid-16th century, this grand house suffered significant damage during World War II due to German bombing raids. The image is part of a collection titled "A Series of Picturesque Views of Seats of the Noblemen and Gentlemen of Great Britain and Ireland" edited by Reverend FO Morris and published around 1880. The wood-engraved plates featured in this volume were skillfully created by renowned artists Benjamin Fawcett and Alexander Francis Lydon. Their artistry beautifully captures the architectural splendor and natural surroundings that make Mount Edgcumbe so enchanting. Set against a backdrop of lush gardens, towering trees, and winding paths, this stately home exudes an air of aristocratic elegance. A striking statue graces its grounds, adding a touch of classical beauty to the scene. With its Tudor-inspired design elements and vibrant color palette, this print transports viewers back to a time when country houses symbolized wealth and privilege. It serves as a testament to both British history and the enduring allure of Cornwall's countryside. This remarkable photograph offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but forever preserved through artistry. It reminds us not only of our rich architectural heritage but also invites contemplation on how war can impact even the most cherished landmarks.
