LITHOGRAPHS
The Mansions of England in the Olden Times is a lavish four-volume work compiled by
Joseph Nash between 1839 and 1849. Incredibly popular when it was published, the
work consists of highly detailed lithographs of some of the most famous (and
lesser-known) country houses in England that were first constructed during the
Tudor and Stuart periods.
Nash travelled throughout England to create this work and
made incredibly accurate sketches of the houses on site. However, rather than
including only an image of the buildings and rooms, Nash opted to bring the
scenes to life with romantic tableaux of Tudor and Stuart domestic life. This
approach was very popular, and the plates were reproduced by many sources, which
ranged from academic texts to travel posters. The esteem that this work gave
Nash brought him to the attention of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, who, in
the 1840s, commissioned him to produce drawings and watercolours of court life
at Windsor Castle.
