EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print depicts the Walpole or Straw Cabinet, a remarkable piece of furniture designed by Horace Walpole, the fourth Earl of Oxford and the father of the English gothic novel. Located in Walpole's home, Strawberry Hill, near Twickenham in Surrey, England, the cabinet is a testament to his love for the gothic style and his passion for collecting antiquities. Built in 1717, the cabinet was originally designed as a library, but was later transformed into a more ornate and decorative piece in the 1760s. The cabinet's exterior is adorned with intricate carvings, painted in a rich, dark color, and covered in a layer of straw, giving it its distinctive name. The interior is equally impressive, with beautifully crafted stools, niches, and shelves, providing ample space for Walpole's vast collection of books and antiquities. The print captures the cabinet's grandeur and the unique atmosphere of Strawberry Hill, which Walpole described as a "little gothic castle." Walpole's home became a popular destination for literary and artistic figures of the time, including Joshua Reynolds, Thomas Gray, and Thomas Gainsborough. The cabinet, with its ornate design and historical significance, was a focal point of the house and a reflection of Walpole's innovative and creative spirit. This print offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the English gothic novel was born, and when the love for the past and the appreciation for beauty and craftsmanship were at the heart of artistic and literary pursuits.
