Corney House, a Glimpse into the Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back in time to 1760, capturing the grandeur of Corney House in Chiswick, London. The origins of this remarkable building trace back to 1542 when it was first constructed by the Bishop of Rochester. Over the years, Corney House underwent transformations and became renowned as the residence of George Earl Macartney, who served as Ambassador to the Emperor of China from 1792-1794. Sadly, despite its rich history and architectural significance, Corney House met its demise in 1832 when it was demolished. However, thanks to this photograph captured around 1878 for Edward Walford's publication "Old and New London: A Narrative of Its History" we are able to admire its splendor once again. The image showcases not only the magnificent structure but also offers a glimpse into life along the River Thames during that era. Boats gracefully navigate through these historic waters while providing an enchanting backdrop for Corney House. As we delve into this monochrome masterpiece created by an unknown artist under Cassell Company Ltd. , we can't help but appreciate how it transports us back in time. It serves as a testament to Britain's rich heritage and reminds us that even though structures may fade away over centuries, their stories continue to captivate our imagination.
