EDITORS COMMENTS
Pencarrow House, seat of Lady Mary Molesworth, is a magnificent stately home nestled in the picturesque countryside of Cornwall. This hand-coloured copperplate engraving, published in Rudolph Ackermann's Repository of Arts in London in 1826, offers a captivating glimpse into the grandeur of this Elizabethan redbrick mansion. The image reveals the imposing presence of the house, with its tall, Tudor-style redbrick tower dominating the landscape. The tower, adorned with intricate stonework and crowned with a conical roof, stands proudly against the backdrop of rolling hills and lush greenery. The house is surrounded by expansive parklands, dotted with trees and winding paths, providing a serene and idyllic setting. Lady Mary Molesworth, the esteemed occupant of Pencarrow House, was the wife of Lord Rancliffe, and the residence had been in the family for generations. The house had undergone extensive renovations in the early 19th century, under the supervision of Thomas and George Parkyn and Stockdale. The renovations were carried out in the Regency style, which is evident in the elegant architecture and refined details of the engraving. The image also features a charming scene in the foreground, with a group of children playing around a rabbit, or 'bunny,' in the garden. The playful scene adds a touch of warmth and whimsy to the otherwise formal and grand image. Overall, this engraving provides a fascinating insight into the opulence and elegance of the landed gentry during the Regency era.
