EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the stunning Clumber Park, seen from across the lake. The image is part of Giles Worsley's renowned collection titled "England's Lost Houses" published in 2002. Worsley, an English photographer of the 20th century, beautifully showcases the grandeur and elegance of this historic site. Clumber Park was once home to a magnificent house built between 1768-78 by Stephen Wright for the 2nd Duke of Newcastle. However, tragedy struck when a severe fire ravaged the neoclassical structure in 1879. Despite efforts to rebuild it by Charles Barry Jr. , Clumber House met its ultimate demise in 1938. In this photograph, we see remnants of Clumber House's facade against a backdrop of misty fog and moonlight. The atmospheric conditions add an ethereal quality to the scene, evoking a sense of mystery and nostalgia. The narrow terrace leading up to where Clumber House once stood adds depth and perspective to this picturesque landscape. Worsley's expert composition skillfully captures both the grandeur and melancholy associated with England's lost architectural gems. This particular print showcases his talent for transforming historical subjects into timeless works of art. As viewers gaze upon this mesmerizing photograph, they are transported back in time to witness firsthand the beauty that once graced these grounds. It serves as a poignant reminder that even though physical structures may be lost over time, their memory lives on through artistry like
