EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur of the hall doors at Drakelowe Hall in Derbyshire, England. Taken from Giles Worsley's renowned book "England's Lost Houses" this print showcases a moment frozen in time. The photographer, an English artist from the 20th century, skillfully portrays the intricate details of this Elizabethan mansion owned by generations of the Gresley family. Sadly, this stately home met its tragic fate when it was demolished in 1938 to make way for an electric power station. However, through this photograph, we are transported back to a time when composite columns adorned with sculptures stood proudly against beautifully crafted wood paneling. The niches within these panels once held treasured artifacts that added to the opulence of this historic residence. The photographer expertly captures every aspect of these hall doors - their destroyed state serving as a poignant reminder of what has been lost forever. This image is not just a documentation but also a testament to the rich history that once thrived within these walls. With its attention to detail and composition, this photograph invites us into a world long gone but preserved through artistry and photography. It serves as both an homage to Drakelowe Hall and a visual narrative that evokes curiosity about England's lost houses.
