EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite architectural illustration, dated circa 1903, transports us to an elegant residence in the picturesque English county of Berkshire. The focus of the illustration is on the magnificent reversing staircase that graces the interior of this historic home. The staircase, crafted from fine mahogany, boasts intricate inlays of ebony and boxwood, adding a rich contrast and depth to the wood's warm hue. Reversing staircases, also known as dogleg or winding staircases, were a popular architectural feature in grand homes during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. Their unique design allowed for a more efficient use of space, while also adding an element of grandeur and sophistication to the interior. The illustration invites us to imagine the opulence of this Berkshire home, with its high ceilings, ornate moldings, and intricate detailing. The muted tones of the mahogany and the subtle contrast of the ebony and boxwood inlays create a sense of timeless elegance, transporting us back to a bygone era of refined living. The illustration, from the March of the Women Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a rare glimpse into the architectural beauty of a bygone era, providing inspiration for modern-day designers and homeowners seeking to incorporate classic design elements into their own spaces.
