EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the haunting beauty of The Justice Room in Dunsland House, Devon. Taken from Giles Worsley's renowned book "England's Lost Houses" this image showcases the tragic fate that befell this once magnificent estate. The main block of Dunsland House, built around 1690 for the Bickford family, stands proudly in the foreground while the old Tudor house looms behind it. However, a sense of disrepair permeates through every panelled wall and wooden beam captured by the English photographer. The room itself exudes an eerie atmosphere with spikes adorning its hall doors, reminiscent of a police court. It is as if time has stood still within these walls, frozen in a moment when justice was served or perhaps injustice prevailed. Sadly, this grandeur was short-lived as Dunsland House met a devastating fate. In 1967, just years after being gifted to the National Trust, fire consumed its historic halls and reduced it to ashes. Through this poignant photograph by Bridgeman Images' talented artist mzphoto, we are transported back to a time when c17th architecture reigned supreme. It serves as both a reminder of England's lost heritage and an homage to Worsley's dedication to preserving history through his lens. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder, we can't help but feel drawn into its melancholic allure - capturing not only what once was but also what could have been.
