EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, hailing from the early 1900s, showcases the enchanting garden front of a house located in the picturesque village of Kirkby Underwood, Esher, Surrey. Designed by the renowned Scottish architect, Mackay Hugh Baillie Scott, this architectural masterpiece is a testament to the Arts and Crafts movement's influence on British domestic architecture during this period. The house, with its intricate stonework and half-timbered gables, is nestled among lush greenery, creating an idyllic setting that seamlessly blends the built environment with nature. Baillie Scott's design philosophy, which emphasized the importance of harmony between architecture and the natural world, is evident in the thoughtful placement of the house within its garden. The garden itself is a delightful oasis, filled with an array of colorful flowers, shrubs, and trees. The meticulously manicured lawn, bordered by a low stone wall, leads the eye towards the house, drawing attention to its charming features. The use of natural materials, such as stone, wood, and thatch, further emphasizes the connection between the house and its surroundings. The Arts and Crafts movement, which advocated for the revival of traditional craftsmanship and the rejection of industrial production, is reflected in the attention to detail and craftsmanship evident in both the house and its garden. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, transporting us back to a time when the relationship between architecture, nature, and craftsmanship was at the forefront of design. This evocative image, part of the March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, is not only a beautiful representation of a bygone era but also a reminder of the enduring influence of Mackay Hugh Baillie Scott's work on the world of architecture and design.
