DURING the first half of the last century many able British artists devoted their talents to depicting the
more important houses, making thereby an invaluable contribution, not only to art, but also to the historic
and topographic records of the nation. In this respect the names of Joseph Nash and C. J. Richardson
have always been prominent, and their drawings deservedly popular. But there were other artists worthy
to be remembered, whose names are included in the above list. In selecting the drawings for reproduction preference
has been given to subjects which possess a picturesque as well as an architectural interest. Many of these fine old
houses have disappeared, or have been substantially altered since the original drawings were made, thus enhancing
the practical value of the present work. The drawings now brought together form a Companion Volume to Nash’s
“Mansions of England in the Olden Time”—the Special Winter Number of The Studio, 1905-6.
The extensive series of beautifully printed full-page plates includes views of such famous and historic residences as :

Kirby Hall
Benthall Hall
Pitchford Hall
Mont acute
Throwley Hall
West Stow Hall

while some drawings of details add to the interest and value of the work. In addition there is a frontispiece in
colours of Nash’s delightful water-colour drawing of “Hampton Court Palace.” An important article is contributed
by Mr. Alfred Y ockney.
