EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur of the entrance hall at Sutton Scarsdale in Derbyshire, England. Taken from Giles Worsley's renowned book "England's Lost Houses" this image showcases the exquisite interior of this once magnificent stately home. Built in 1724 by Francis Smith of Warwick for the 4th Earl of Scarsdale, Sutton Scarsdale was a true masterpiece of English Baroque architecture. The photograph highlights the impressive plasterwork ceiling adorned with intricate designs, showcasing the craftsmanship and attention to detail prevalent during the early 18th century. The composition also features elegant pilasters that add depth and sophistication to the space. Despite being stripped of its interiors after being sold by William Arkwright in 1920, only leaving behind an empty shell, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of what once stood here. Through meticulous photography, we are transported back in time to witness the elaborate beauty that once graced these halls. This image is a testament to both Worsley's skill as a photographer and his dedication to preserving England's architectural heritage. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Bridgeman Images' collection, we cannot help but marvel at how it encapsulates history within its frame. It serves as a visual tribute to Sutton Scarsdale and other lost houses across England – reminding us all of their significance and inspiring us to cherish our cultural heritage for generations to come.
