EDITORS COMMENTS
The Staircase at Westonbirt, Gloucestershire: A Glimpse into Victorian Grandeur This photograph captures the exquisite staircase at Westonbirt, Gloucestershire, a true testament to the grandeur of Victorian architecture. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this print showcases the remarkable craftsmanship and attention to detail that defined this era. The staircase is located within Westonbirt House, a magnificent country residence built by Robert Stayner Holford between 1863 and 1870. Designed by Lewis Vulliamy, it replaced two previous houses on the site - an Elizabethan manor house and a Georgian house. The Italian Renaissance style is evident in every aspect of this stunning interior. As you gaze upon this image, your eyes are drawn to the coffered ceiling above and the elegant pilasters that line the walls. The hall exudes an air of sophistication as natural light streams through large windows, illuminating every intricate detail. Once home to Holford's extensive art collection and surrounded by his creation - Westonbirt Arboretum - today Westonbirt House serves as a prestigious girls' school after being sold in 1927. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also offers us a glimpse into an era where opulence met artistic finesse. It reminds us of our rich architectural heritage and invites us to appreciate the beauty found within these historic country houses.
