EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning black and white wood engraving, titled "Christmas Reflections at Aston Hall" and created by Samuel Read in 1857, captures the magical and timeless beauty of the 17th century Jacobean mansion, Aston Hall, located in Aston, Birmingham. Designed by John Thorpe and built between 1618 and 1635, Aston Hall is a Grade I listed building and the first historic country house to pass into municipal ownership in 1864. The print, published in the Illustrated London News in 1857, depicts the mansion's magnificent exterior reflecting in the still, wintry waters of the ornamental lake. The night scene is set aglow with the warm light emanating from the windows, casting a soft, romantic glow over the scene. The intricate details of the mansion's ornate architecture are beautifully captured in the engraving, with its grand columns, intricate carvings, and elegant facade. The tranquil and serene atmosphere of the scene is further enhanced by the absence of people, allowing the viewer to imagine the stillness and peacefulness of the wintry night. The use of black and white in the wood engraving adds to the sense of timelessness and nostalgia, transporting us back to a bygone era. Aston Hall, with its rich history and stunning architecture, continues to be a popular tourist attraction and a source of inspiration for artists and photographers alike. This beautiful print by Samuel Read is a testament to the enduring allure of this magnificent mansion and the magic of the Christmas season.
