Background:
These prints are from Picturesque Views of the Seats of Nobility and Gentlemen, a
folio illustrating the castles and manor homes of the nobility and gentry. Folios
such as these were aimed at audiences familiar with the large estates of the time, and
were priced modestly enough to appeal to middle class purchasers. The illustrations
are by Alexander Lydon, who also did the engravings from which the prints were produced.
The Rev. F. O. Morris authored the accompanying text which provided information
about the families occupying each home.
