EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the haunting beauty of the remaining range of the forecourt arcade at Eastbury Park, as depicted in Jeremy Musson's book "The Country Houses of Sir John Vanbrugh". The image, taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, transports us back to the 18th century when this magnificent country house stood proudly on its grounds. Eastbury Park was commissioned by George Dodington and designed by renowned architect Sir John Vanbrugh in 1717. However, it met a tragic fate as it was ultimately demolished due to insurmountable running costs. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of what once was - a grand estate with stunning gardens that have now been reduced to ruins. The composition showcases the remnants of English baroque architecture, highlighting intricate details and elegant archways that were characteristic of this period. It evokes a sense of nostalgia for a time long gone and invites viewers to imagine what life must have been like within these walls. Despite its non-extant status today, this photograph immortalizes Eastbury Park's architectural splendor and stands as a testament to its historical significance. It is through images like these that we can appreciate the enduring legacy left behind by great architects such as Sir John Vanbrugh.
