Taken from above, this view lays out a large mansion alongside its classical gallery and formal gardens, showing how the house and grounds were arranged as one composition. Aerial photographs of private estates were uncommon until the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when balloons, kites and later airplanes gave photographers a new vantage point. Filed under libraries, the picture suggests that the house held a book collection, which was common in grand residences of the period, where reading rooms and galleries were often part of the plan. Estates like this one typically reflect classical taste in their symmetrical facades, colonnades and carefully planned terraces.
