Meanwhile, an engraving transports us back in time to witness the splendor of The Royal Agricultural College in Cirencester. Moundsmere Manor reveals its intricate details on the South Front through a mesmerizing black and white photo that captures every nuance. And then there is The Keelmens Hospital; an architectural marvel depicted in an engraving from 1843 that showcases its striking South Front design. Traveling further north brings us face-to-face with Yorkshire's pride - Castle Howard - as it proudly displays its magnificent South Front through another exquisite engraving. Crossing continents takes us across oceans to Washington DC where we encounter the iconic White House standing tall against a vibrant backdrop captured perfectly in a photograph. Paris whispers secrets from centuries past as we gaze upon the Palais Royal's alluring South Front portrayed gracefully in black and white photography. Finally, our journey concludes at Hyde Park where engravings depict mosaics adorning the Prince Consort National Memorial's resplendent South Front.
