EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the majestic beauty of Knebworth, the south-west front. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this print showcases one of "100 Favourite Houses" featured in a renowned publication. Knebworth has been the cherished home of the Lytton family since 1490, with its rich history evident in every architectural detail. Originally constructed in a different style, Knebworth underwent significant transformations over time. In 1813-16, it was reduced to one wing and remodeled in the Tudor style before being further enhanced from 1843-45 by Henry Edward Kendall Jr. , for Sir Edward Bulwer-Lytton. The result is a stunning example of gothic revival architecture that exudes grandeur and elegance. The photograph highlights various elements that make Knebworth so enchanting. Its crenellated exterior is adorned with turrets and pinnacles, adding to its stately charm. Surrounding grounds and gardens provide a picturesque backdrop for this magnificent structure. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to the late nineteenth century when Victorian Gothic aesthetics were at their peak. The neo-gothic influences are apparent throughout every inch of Knebworth's design. This print serves as a testament to both the skillful eye of the photographer who captured it and Bridgeman Images' commitment to preserving fine art masterpieces like these for generations to come.
