EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the picturesque village of West Coombe in 1794. Built in the early 18th century, this architectural gem nestled outside London was home to notable figures such as Clive of India and Alexander Baring. The image showcases West Combe's timeless beauty, with its elegant buildings standing proudly against a backdrop of lush countryside. The photographer captures the essence of this historic location, emphasizing the grandeur of Westcombe House and Manor. The well-maintained garden surrounding the house adds a touch of serenity to the scene, while towering trees frame the landscape with their majestic presence. This monochrome portrayal evokes a sense of nostalgia for an era long gone. Edward Walford's publication, "Old and New London: A Narrative of Its History, Its People, And Its Places" provides valuable insights into the rich history that unfolded within these walls. It is fascinating to imagine how life must have been during those times when Lord Clive himself walked these grounds. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Heritage Images, we are transported back in time - witnessing not only a snapshot frozen in history but also glimpsing into an era where elegance and tranquility reigned supreme.
