EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of The Great Drawing Room in Cassiobury Park, Hertfordshire. Taken from Giles Worsley's renowned book "England's Lost Houses" this image showcases the exquisite interior decor and architectural beauty of a bygone era. The room itself is a testament to the opulence and splendor that once graced stately homes. Originally an Elizabethan house rebuilt by Hugh May in the late 17th century for Arthur Capel, 1st Earl of Essex, it was later remodeled by James Wyatt around 1800. Sadly, this magnificent structure met its demise when it was demolished in 1927. Intricate wood carvings adorned with foliate designs can be seen throughout the room, showcasing the craftsmanship and attention to detail prevalent during this period. Portraits hang on the walls, adding a touch of elegance and history to the space. Photographed in 1910 by an English photographer whose identity remains unknown, this image offers us a glimpse into a world long gone but not forgotten. It serves as a reminder of our rich architectural heritage and evokes feelings of nostalgia for those who appreciate artistry and history. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable photograph from Fine Art Finder's collection, allowing us to admire and cherish this piece of history forevermore.
