EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the magnificent Cragside, nestled in the picturesque region of Northumberland. The grand country house, once home to 1st Lord Armstrong, stands proudly as a testament to his remarkable legacy as an industrialist and inventor. As I gaze upon this print, I am transported back to the year 2018 when this historic landmark was captured in all its glory. Cragside holds a significant place in history as it was the first location worldwide to be illuminated by electricity generated from water power. This groundbreaking achievement revolutionized the way we perceive and utilize energy. The sheer magnitude of Lord Armstrong's vision is palpable through Emma Trevarthen's lens. The sprawling estate exudes timeless charm with its lush greenery and meticulously manicured gardens that stretch out before me. It is no wonder that Cragside has become a cherished property under the care of National Trust. As I study every detail within this photo print, my imagination runs wild with thoughts of strolling along its winding paths or marveling at the architectural wonders within its walls. Emma Trevarthen has masterfully captured not just a physical structure but also an essence—a glimpse into a world where innovation meets natural beauty. This image serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and how one man's ingenuity can shape generations to come.
