EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Workington Hall in Cumberland, England, as it stood in 1880. The engraving, created by Alexander Francis Lydon and later reproduced by Benjamin Fawcett using the Baxter process, beautifully captures the architectural grandeur of this historic mansion. Built during the time of William Rufus in the 11th century by Patric de Culwen, Workington Hall exudes a sense of timeless elegance. Its castellated structure was added in 1379, perched atop a hill overlooking the picturesque River Derwent. This enchanting residence served as home to notable figures such as Edward Stanley Curwen of the 14th Light Dragoon Guards and Henry Fraser Curwen of the 56th Regiment. The fine details captured in this color woodblock engraving highlight not only its historical significance but also its artistic value. Reverend Francis Orpen Morris's A Series of Picturesque Views of the Seats of Noblemen and Gentlemen of Great Britain and Ireland provided inspiration for this illustration. As you admire this image from Fine Art Finder's private collection, let your imagination transport you back to a time when British architecture flourished. Marvel at how Workington Hall seamlessly blends into its natural surroundings while standing tall as a testament to centuries past.
