EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the grandeur of Audley End House and Gardens in Saffron Walden, Essex. Built between 1605 and 1614 for Thomas Howard, the first Earl of Suffolk and Lord Treasurer to James I, this magnificent house stands as a testament to its rich history. The photograph captures the essence of Audley End House as it was in 1891 when Bedford Lemere expertly framed this stunning image. The original structure boasted two courtyards but has undergone significant reduction over the years to ensure easier maintenance. Despite these changes, the house still exudes an air of elegance and splendor. Bedford Lemere's skillful composition allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of this architectural masterpiece. From its towering turrets to its ornate windows, each element tells a story of opulence and refinement that once graced these halls. As we gaze upon this timeless image, we are transported back in time, imagining what life must have been like within these walls during the early 17th century. It is a reminder that even though centuries have passed since its construction, Audley End House remains an enduring symbol of England's rich heritage. This print by Bedford Lemere serves as both a window into history and a tribute to the craftsmanship that went into creating such an extraordinary estate.
