EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the grandeur of Raby Castle in Durham, England, as it stood in 1880. The medieval castle, originally built in 1379 by John de Neville, 3rd Baron, is depicted with its impressive Gothic-style entrance hall added in the 19th century by the Vanes, the Dukes of Cleveland. This architectural masterpiece showcases both historical significance and timeless beauty. The print was created by Alexander Francis Lydon (1836-1917) and engraved by Benjamin Fawcett using the Baxter process.
