EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting print depicts a west view of Strawberry Hill, the legendary home of Horace Walpole, the Fourth Earl of Oxford, located in Twickenham, Middlesex, England. Dated between 1717 and 1797, this image captures the essence of Walpole's beloved gothic masterpiece, which he transformed from a simple country house into a unique architectural marvel. The striking crenellations that adorn the exterior of Strawberry Hill are a testament to Walpole's passion for the medieval period and the Gothic Revival. The house, nestled among the trees and winding country lanes, exudes an air of mystery and intrigue, inviting visitors to explore its many hidden corners and secret gardens. Walpole, an English novelist and man of letters, was a pioneer of the Gothic literary genre, and his home reflected his love for the dark and romantic. The print captures the essence of this literary and historical landmark, transporting us back in time to an era of enchantment and imagination. The people in the print, strolling along the lane or admiring the view from a distance, add a sense of scale and context to the image, allowing us to imagine the bustling community that surrounded this unique residence. The trees, with their vibrant autumn colors, frame the scene and add to the overall beauty and charm of this view of Strawberry Hill.
