EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and elegant design for the staircase entablature at Headfort House. Created by renowned architect Robert Adam, this masterpiece combines pen and black ink with graphite on laid paper to bring his vision to life. Measuring 53.5x66 cm, it is now housed in the prestigious Yale Center for British Art as part of the Paul Mellon Collection. The entablature's exquisite details are a testament to Adam's genius. Drawing inspiration from both Georgian and Pompeian styles, he seamlessly blends classical elements with neo-classical influences. The garlands adorning the entablature exude a sense of grandeur and opulence, while delicate animal skulls add an unexpected touch of intrigue. Originally commissioned by Thomas Taylour, Earl of Bective, this architectural marvel stands as a symbol of timeless beauty and sophistication. Its presence within Headfort House undoubtedly leaves visitors in awe as they ascend its majestic staircase. This print captures not only Adam's artistic prowess but also serves as a reminder of the rich history embedded within these walls.
