EDITORS COMMENTS
A Glimpse into the Past: Clarendon House, 1666 Step back in time with this 1875 print of Clarendon House, as it once stood proudly on Piccadilly in London, England, during the 1660s and 1680s. This magnificent town mansion was the grandest private residence in London during this era, and was the creation of the powerful and influential politician, Edward Hyde, who later became the 1st Earl of Clarendon. Edward Hyde, a man of great political acumen, held many high-ranking positions in the English government, serving as Lord Chancellor and Lord Privy Seal under King Charles II. As a testament to his power and wealth, he commissioned the construction of Clarendon House, a grand architectural masterpiece that became the envy of London society. The print, produced in 1875, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, revealing the intricate details of this historic building. The elegant facade, adorned with intricate carvings and ornate columns, stands tall against the backdrop of the bustling city. The meticulously manicured gardens, filled with vibrant flowers and lush greenery, provide a tranquil contrast to the hustle and bustle of the surrounding streets. Clarendon House was a symbol of wealth, power, and prestige during the Restoration period in England. It was a place where the elite gathered to socialize, dine, and entertain, and where important political decisions were made behind closed doors. Today, this historic building remains an enduring reminder of a bygone era, and continues to captivate the imagination of historians, architects, and anyone with a passion for the past.
