EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur and elegance of the interior at Knebworth, Hertfordshire. Featured in the renowned book '100 Favourite Houses', this image showcases a remarkable piece of English history. The home of the Lytton family since 1490, Knebworth has undergone significant transformations over the centuries. In 1813-16, the old house was reduced to one wing and remodeled in Tudor style. However, it was not until 1843-45 that Henry Edward Kendall Jr. , under Sir Edward Bulwer-Lytton's commission, transformed it into its current splendor. The staircase featured in this photograph is a masterpiece designed by John Crace. The neo-Jacobean architecture exudes an air of sophistication and opulence. Suits of armor stand proudly against intricately carved wood paneling, adding a touch of medieval charm to this Victorian-era stately home. Photographed by an anonymous English photographer from the 20th century, this print beautifully captures every detail with precision and artistry. It is evident that great care was taken to preserve both the historical significance and aesthetic beauty of Knebworth House. Displayed within these frames lies not just a photograph but also a window into another time—a testament to architectural brilliance and craftsmanship that has stood for centuries. This image serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and invites us to appreciate the enduring legacy left behind by those who came before us.
