EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Eleanor Gwyn's Home at Sandford Manor House, Fulham, London (1670s). This evocative image transports us back in time to the 1670s and the elegant abode of Eleanor Gwyn, an English actress and the most famous mistress of King Charles II. Nestled in the heart of Fulham, London, Sandford Manor House stands proudly, a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the Restoration era. Eleanor Gwyn (1650-1687) was a celebrated actress and a woman of extraordinary charm and wit. Her relationship with the King began in 1668, and she quickly rose to become one of his most beloved favourites. In recognition of her status, Charles II bestowed upon her the title "Actress-in-Ordinary to the King's Company," granting her a generous annual income and the privilege of living in a royal residence. Sandford Manor House, with its impressive facade and sprawling gardens, was a fitting home for the charismatic actress and her royal lover. The estate, situated along the banks of the River Thames, offered a tranquil retreat from the bustling city life. The interiors of the manor house were adorned with the finest furnishings and decor, reflecting the extravagance and sophistication of the time. The image of Eleanor Gwyn's home at Sandford Manor House offers a glimpse into the world of the Restoration court, a time of artistic and cultural flourishing, where the lives of the elite intertwined with the theatre and the arts. This photograph invites us to imagine the intrigues and passions that unfolded within its walls, as Eleanor Gwyn and King Charles II shared their love and their lives.
