This period witnessed significant changes, both globally and within the artistic realm. The Newstead Abbey Entrance front, skillfully captured by A. W & H Cox between 1862 and 1865, invites you to explore an architectural marvel that stands as a testament to history.

Her enigmatic gaze hints at stories untold and emotions unspoken—a silent testimony to the complexities of life during those years. Venturing beyond portraits, A. W & H Cox's Garden Front image unveils nature's beauty intertwined with human craftsmanship—an oasis frozen in time for all admirers of horticulture and design. Yet not all was serene during these years; conflict loomed over nations like an ominous cloud. The Confederate soldier standing tall reminds us of the American Civil War (1861-1865), which shaped destinies on both sides of this divided nation. Artists across continents also sought inspiration from their surroundings. Jules Breton's "Un Grand Pardon Breton, " brought forth by Goupil & Cie, captures poignant moments from Brittany—a region known for its rich cultural heritage—where forgiveness becomes a powerful symbol amidst hardship. Edgar Degas' portrayal of Marguerite De Gas offers insight into familial bonds that transcend time and place—a touching tribute to sibling relationships that endure through thick and thin.
