EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Tregothnan, Cornwall, the magnificent home of Viscount Falmouth in the late 19th century. The house, which was originally built in the 1650s but had to be reconstructed after being ravaged during the Civil War, stands as a testament to resilience and grandeur. Renowned architect William Wilkins, known for his work on London's National Gallery, lent his expertise to enlarge and enhance this stately residence. The image is part of Reverend FO Morris' esteemed publication "A Series of Picturesque Views of Seats of the Noblemen and Gentlemen of Great Britain and Ireland" edited by William Mackenzie. It features wood-engraved plates meticulously crafted by Benjamin Fawcett and Alexander Francis Lydon. Immersed in vibrant colors that bring out its architectural splendor against a backdrop of lush gardens, Tregothnan exudes an air of aristocratic charm. This country house nestled amidst Cornwall's picturesque landscape serves as both a symbol of opulence and a cherished piece of British history. As we gaze upon this print from over a century ago, we are transported back in time to witness the harmonious blend between nature and human ingenuity. The combination of seventeenth-century origins with nineteenth-century expansions creates an enchanting visual narrative that captivates our imagination. Through this photograph print, we can appreciate not only the beauty but also the cultural significance embodied within Tregothnan – a true gem among Britain's historic landmarks.
