EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print, dated 1797, captures the enchanting North front of Strawberry Hill, the legendary home of Horace Walpole, the Fourth Earl of Oxford and the father of the English gothic novel. Nestled in the picturesque village of Twickenham, Middlesex, this historic residence was a unique architectural masterpiece that defied the conventional norms of 18th-century English country houses. Walpole, a man of letters and a prolific writer, transformed this once modest dwelling into a gothic fantasy, complete with crenellations, turrets, and intricate details inspired by his extensive travels and literary pursuits. In this image, we see a couple strolling along the lane leading to Strawberry Hill, their elegant attire and refined demeanor reflecting the sophistication and charm of the era. Accompanying them is a regal greyhound, a common companion of the aristocracy during this time. The North front of the house looms majestically in the background, its gothic features bathed in the soft, ethereal light of a bygone era. Horace Walpole, born in 1717, was not only a celebrated writer but also an influential figure in English history. His groundbreaking works, such as "The Castle of Otranto," are considered the first gothic novels, paving the way for a new literary genre that would captivate readers for generations to come. This print serves as a poignant reminder of Walpole's enduring legacy and the magical allure of Strawberry Hill, a place where history, literature, and the enchantment of the past converge.
