EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the enchanting Burleigh House gardens in Stamford, Lincolnshire, during the year 1900. The grandeur of this Elizabethan masterpiece is evident as we gaze upon its magnificent exterior. Built by William Cecil, Lord Burghley, in 1587, this stately home stands as a testament to the opulence and architectural brilliance of the era. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the serpentine park that surrounds Burleigh House. Designed by renowned landscape architect Lancelot Brown in the 18th century, it exudes an air of tranquility and natural beauty. The meticulously manicured lawns seamlessly blend with lush greenery and picturesque pathways that invite visitors to explore every corner. As we delve deeper into this monochrome scene, we can almost imagine ourselves strolling through these historic grounds alongside Queen Victoria herself. This engraving from "The life and times of Queen Victoria" by Robert Wilson captures not only the essence of Victorian England but also showcases the rich history embedded within each stone of Burleigh House. It is fascinating to witness how time has shaped this sixteenth-century marvel into a nineteenth-century gem. The print collector skillfully brings together various elements – architecture, nature's splendor, and historical figures like Sir William Cecil – creating a visual narrative that leaves us longing for more glimpses into our past. Let us cherish this remarkable piece as it serves as a window into an era long gone but forever preserved within
