EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a serene moment in time, depicting The Duke of Buccleuch's Residence in Richmond, Surrey, as seen from across the tranquil waters. Circa 1854, the image was captured by renowned English photographer George Baxter, who was known for his innovative processes that produced high-quality prints. The Duke of Buccleuch, represented here by his estate, was one of the wealthiest and most influential figures in Scotland and England during the mid-19th century. The residence, nestled among the lush greenery, exudes an air of grandeur and elegance. The reflection of the building on the still waters adds to its allure, while the small boats moored nearby hint at the leisurely activities that would have taken place on the water. The peaceful scene is a testament to the idyllic lifestyle enjoyed by the aristocracy during this period. George Baxter's masterful composition and attention to detail are evident in the intricate depiction of the residence's architectural features, from the ornate chimneys to the intricately designed windows. The photograph also provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the lives of the wealthy elite during the Victorian era. This image, part of the March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, invites us to imagine the stories that unfolded within the walls of The Duke of Buccleuch's Residence and on the waters of Richmond, Surrey, over a century and a half ago.
