Originally bequeathed by Queen Charlotte to Princess Augusta in 1792, this gothic pile has since become a symbol of aristocratic grandeur and picturesque charm. The handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by John Gendall and published in Rudolph Ackermann's Repository of Arts in 1823, offers a glimpse into the romantic allure of Frogmore House. The image showcases the ruins of the once grand house, which was later rebuilt in the late 19th century by the renowned architect Decimus Burton. The engraving reveals the intricate details of the gothic revival architecture, with its pointed arches, tall chimneys, and ornate decorative elements. The surrounding garden, dotted with trees and flowers, adds to the picturesque beauty of the scene. The influence of the famous architect James Wyatt is evident in the design of Frogmore House.
