This captivating collection takes us on a journey through some of England's most magnificent estates in the late 19th century. At Chatsworth House in Derbyshire, home to the esteemed Duke of Devonshire, Lydon unveils a scene filled with graceful rabbits frolicking amidst lush gardens. Their playful nature perfectly complements the grandeur of this historic estate. Moving south to Dunster Castle in Somerset, owned by the Fownes-Luttrell family, Lydon's brushstrokes bring life to our fancy rabbits. These elegant creatures seem right at home among the castle's ancient walls and picturesque surroundings. Elvaston Castle in Derbyshire, residence of the Earl of Harrington, becomes an enchanting backdrop for Lydon's portrayal of rabbits exploring their whimsical habitat. The artist skillfully captures their curiosity and charm against this architectural marvel. Venturing further north to Raby Castle in County Durham, we witness how Lydon masterfully portrays hares gracefully leaping across its vast grounds. The Duke of Cleveland's majestic residence serves as an awe-inspiring setting for these agile creatures. In Kirkstall Abbey from a north-west perspective dating back to 1880-1897, Lydon showcases his versatility by capturing not only grand estates but also historical landmarks. Here he depicts tranquil scenes where rabbits find solace amidst ancient ruins. Danbury Palace in Essex offers another glimpse into Lydon's artistic prowess as he paints delightful rabbit encounters within Bishop Rochester's splendid abode. The juxtaposition between regal interiors and these adorable creatures creates a charming atmosphere.
