EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur of the state rooms at Houghton Hall in Norfolk, as featured in "The English Country House". The image, taken by an anonymous 20th-century English photographer, showcases the exquisite craftsmanship and opulent design that epitomize this historic residence. Houghton Hall was commissioned by Sir Robert Walpole and designed by renowned architects Colen Campbell and James Gibbs. The interiors were masterfully created by William Kent. Construction on this magnificent structure began in 1722, resulting in a stunning example of baroque architecture. In this particular photo print, we are treated to a glimpse of one of the ornately decorated state rooms. Intricate carvings adorn every surface, showcasing the skillful artistry prevalent during the 18th century. The piano nobile is highlighted with its elegant doorway serving as a focal point within the room. As we explore this stately home through photography, it becomes evident why Houghton Hall holds such significance within British architectural history. Its rich heritage is beautifully captured here by Bridgeman Images' mzphoto collection.
