EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Sandringham Hall, Norfolk, the esteemed hunting-box of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales in 1862. The image provides a mesmerizing view of Sandringham House, nestled within the picturesque Sandringham estate that has long been cherished for royal shooting parties.
King Edward VII, renowned for his love of hunting, implemented a unique tradition at Sandringham. He ordered that the clocks be set half an hour earlier than GMT to extend daylight hours for hunting purposes. This practice became known as "Sandringham time" and remained in effect from 1901 until 1936 when King Edward VIII reverted the clocks back to GMT.
The architectural beauty of this nineteenth-century country house is evident in its elegant design and enchanting surroundings. The engraving expertly captures the exterior features along with its sprawling gardens and serene lake. Created by an unknown artist but published in "Illustrated London News," this piece offers a glimpse into rural life during that era.
Sandringham Hall served as a royal residence for generations, attracting notable figures such as HRH Prince Albert Edward (later known as King Edward VII). Its rustic charm combined with its grandeur made it an idyllic retreat away from bustling city life.
This historical photograph transports us back to a time when British architecture seamlessly blended with nature's beauty. It reminds us of the rich heritage associated with Sandringham Hall and its significance within British regionalism.
As we admire this remarkable print by Unknown artist George Frederick Sargent, we are reminded not only of its artistic value but also of the cultural importance it holds within Britain's history.
