EDITORS COMMENTS
is an enchanting engraving that transports us back in time to the picturesque village of Horton Kirby in Kent, England. The image, created in the 19th century, captures the beauty of Franks, a historic Elizabethan mansion that stands proudly beyond the village, overlooking a lovely river. The mansion, a stately pile of red brick with stone dressings, is nestled in a fair walled pleasance of smooth lawns and terrace-paths. Franks was built before the year 1594 by a certain Alderman of London, Worshipful Launcelot Bathurst, as mentioned in the "Illustrated London News" of 1876. The engraving invites us to explore the rich history and rural charm of this magnificent building, which has stood the test of time. The image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of those who once lived in this idyllic setting. The rustic beauty of the countryside surrounding Franks is also captured in the engraving, with the rolling hills, lush greenery, and winding river adding to the picturesque scene. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of the English countryside and the historic buildings that define its character. The "Illustrated London News" was a popular newspaper in the 19th century, known for its high-quality illustrations and coverage of regionalism and rural life. This engraving is a prime example of the newspaper's commitment to showcasing the beauty and charm of Britain's historic buildings and rural landscapes. Today, Franks remains a popular tourist attraction, drawing visitors from around the world who are drawn to its historic charm and picturesque setting. The engraving serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of the English countryside and the importance of preserving its historic buildings for future generations to enjoy.
