EDITORS COMMENTS
Mount Edgcumbe: The Seat of the 2nd Earl of Edgcumbe, Cornwall This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by John Gendall and published by Rudolph Ackermann in 1826, offers a captivating glimpse into the grandeur of Mount Edgcumbe, the Cornwall residence of the 2nd Earl of Edgcumbe. The castellated mansion, with its distinctive octagonal towers, stands proudly against the backdrop of the Cornish countryside, its Italianate style villa a testament to the Regency era's appreciation for continental influences. The estate, situated on a tidal isle, is surrounded by lush French and English gardens, with an orchard and a charming cottage nestled among the greenery. The serene beauty of the gardens, with their fountains and winding paths, contrasts sharply with the imposing structure of the mansion, creating a harmonious blend of grandeur and tranquility. The scene is further enhanced by the presence of General Sir James Willoughby Gordon, who can be seen admiring the view from the terrace. Dressed in his military uniform, he adds an air of authority and prestige to the setting. The overall effect is one of opulence and refinement, a fitting representation of the aristocracy and landed gentry of the time. This engraving, taken from John Gendall's illustration, provides a tantalizing glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when grand country estates were the epitome of wealth and status.
