EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the majestic beauty of Cragside, one of England's most beloved houses. Featured in '100 Favourite Houses, ' this print by an English photographer from the 20th century showcases the remarkable architectural masterpiece that is Cragside. Built by Richard Norman Shaw for Sir William Armstrong in 1870, this house stands proudly nestled into a rocky hillside. What sets Cragside apart is its pioneering use of hydroelectric power, making it the first house to be lit by this innovative technology. The image transports us back to a time when Victorian architecture reigned supreme, with its Tudor revival style evident in every intricate detail. The surrounding landscape adds to the allure of Cragside, as rhododendrons bloom vibrantly against the backdrop of lush gardens and a mesmerizing rock garden. It is no wonder that Lord Armstrong chose this location for his grand residence – nature's splendor perfectly complements man-made marvels. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of the rich history and timeless elegance embodied within these walls. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured every nuance and angle, allowing us to appreciate both the grandeur of Cragside and the artistry behind photography itself. This print serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our unending quest for progress while honoring the natural world that surrounds us.
