EDITORS COMMENTS
Pynes House, Exeter, Devon, 1825: A Regency Era Stately Home in the Heart of Devon This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by John Gendall and published in Rudolph Ackermann's Repository of Arts in London in 1825, offers a captivating glimpse into the past, showcasing the elegant and imposing Pynes House in Exeter, Devon. The residence was the seat of Sir Stafford Henry Northcote, a prominent figure during the Regency era. Built in the Queen Anne style, Pynes House is characterized by its red brick facade, slate roof, and four brick chimney stacks. The architectural design of the house is attributed to Inigo Jones, a renowned architect of the 17th century, who is also known for his work on the Banqueting House in Whitehall and Wilton House in Wiltshire. The romantic, gothic revival style, which was popular during the Regency period, is evident in the ornate details of the house, such as the intricate chimney stacks and the decorative windows. The design of Pynes House reflects the aristocratic taste of the time, with its grandeur and opulence intended to showcase the wealth and status of its owner. The engraving also features the nearby Belvoir Castle in Leicestershire, home to the Duke of Rutland, which adds to the picturesque landscape of the image. The Norman-style castle, with its tall towers and battlements, stands in stark contrast to the more modern Pynes House, yet they both embody the grandeur and elegance of the Regency era. This beautiful engraving offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of aristocratic splendour and architectural innovation. The intricate details and vibrant colours bring the image to life, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and grandeur of Pynes House and the surrounding landscape.
