EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting Plas Newydd, near Llangollen, which was once the cherished home of Lady Eleanor Butler and Miss Sarah Ponsonby. The seat of the late Lady Eleanor Butler (c. 1745-1829) and Miss Sarah Ponsonby (d. 1831), this magnificent estate exudes an air of mystery and seclusion. The image, printed by Charles Joseph Hullmandel (1789-1850), showcases the remarkable architecture of Plas Newydd against a backdrop of natural beauty. Nestled in the picturesque vale, this house served as a sanctuary for these two extraordinary women who chose to live in isolation for half a century. Lady Eleanor Butler and Miss Sarah Ponsonby were not only known for their eccentric lifestyle but also for their deep love and companionship as a lesbian couple during a time when such relationships were heavily stigmatized. Their story is one that defied societal norms and continues to inspire generations. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness the unique bond shared by these courageous ladies of Llangollen. Plas Newydd stands as a testament to their enduring legacy - an emblematic symbol of love, resilience, and defiance against societal expectations. This rare glimpse into history reminds us that true happiness can be found when we embrace our individuality without fear or compromise.
