EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Arundel Castle in Sussex, England, as it appeared in 1870. The engraving, created by Alexander Francis Lydon and later reproduced by Benjamin Fawcett using the Baxter process, beautifully captures the external view of this historic architectural gem. Arundel Castle has a rich history dating back to its alleged construction for King Alfred and subsequent rebuilding by Roger de Montgomery after the Norman Conquest of 1066. Restored in 1791 by the Duke of Norfolk in an ancient style, it became the residence of Henry Fitzalan Howard, the 15th Duke of Arundel. The intricate details depicted in this engraving highlight not only Lydon's artistic talent but also showcase Fawcett's skillful use of color woodblock printing. This print is part of Reverend Francis Orpen Morriss' renowned work titled "A Series of Picturesque Views of the Seats of Noblemen and Gentlemen" which provides a glimpse into some remarkable estates across Great Britain and Ireland. As we gaze upon this image from a distant era, we are transported to a time when grandeur and opulence were celebrated through magnificent architecture. It serves as a reminder that these historical landmarks continue to stand tall today, preserving their stories for future generations to admire and appreciate.
