EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Cliveden House near Maidenhead Bridge in the County of Bucks, 1753" takes us back to a bygone era of grandeur and elegance. The print showcases the magnificent Cliveden House, situated near the picturesque Maidenhead Bridge in Buckinghamshire. The artist, John Donowell, skillfully captures the architectural beauty of this Italianate mansion. Built in 1666 and leased by Frederick, Prince of Wales from 1737-1751, Cliveden House was once a splendid palace fit for royalty. Its opulent facade and exquisite design are on full display in this engraving. As we gaze upon this image, we can imagine ourselves strolling through the expansive parkland surrounding the estate. The meticulously manicured gardens add an air of tranquility to the scene while enhancing its natural splendor. It is worth noting that this particular version depicts the original house as it stood before tragedy struck. Sadly, fire ravaged Cliveden House in 1795; however, thanks to engravings like these, we can still appreciate its former glory. This remarkable piece transports us back to a time when architecture was celebrated as an art form and nature was seamlessly integrated into man-made landscapes. It serves as a testament to both human creativity and Mother Nature's enduring beauty. (Word count: 200)
