Description

Folio (375 x 270 mm), 88pp., illustrated throughout with photogravures, some light water staining to lower margins, orig. brick-red grained cloth with bevelled boards, titled in gilt with gilt border rules, upper board with double crease and cracked to inner board, all edges gilt. Commences with two black and white photographic views of Mytton Hall itself and two further views from the terrace looking north-west and south-west. The house was built circa 1485 - 1509, and is probably the work of Ralph Catterall. The rooms in the house have been evocatively photographed so the artefacts can be seen in the settings in which they were displayed. The artefacts are listed room by room with photographs and the books are catalogued according to where they were kept. Provides a fascinating glimpse of life in an English country house towards the end of the Victorian era. In recent years, Mytton Hall has become a country house hotel.
