EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of The drawing room at Highcliffe Castle in Hampshire. Taken from Giles Worsley's renowned book "England's Lost Houses" this image showcases the exquisite craftsmanship and opulence of the 19th-century Gothic Picturesque style. Built by William Donthorne between 1831-35 for Lord Stuart de Rothsay, a diplomat and collector, Highcliffe Castle was adorned with treasures acquired from around the world. However, time took its toll on this magnificent stately home, leading to disrepair and eventual fire damage in the mid-20th century. Today, only the shell remains as a haunting reminder of its former glory. The photograph highlights intricate French-style plasterwork ceilings adorned with gilt accents, showcasing rococo decoration that epitomizes elegance and sophistication. The attention to detail in c19th architecture is evident throughout every corner of this room. Through this lens captured by an English photographer from the 20th century known as mzphoto, viewers are transported back in time to experience the beauty that once graced these walls. It serves as a testament to both architectural brilliance and historical significance. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable piece of interior decor photography without any commercial use intentions. It allows us to appreciate not only fine art but also cherish our cultural heritage through visual storytelling.
