EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous event in history - the sale of furniture from the late Lord North's collection at Wroxton Abbey. The focal point of this image is an exquisite four poster bedstead, adorned with hangings that were meticulously embroidered by none other than Mary Queen of Scots herself. It is truly a sight to behold, showcasing the remarkable craftsmanship and royal elegance of the 16th century. The photograph transports us back to 1st July 1922, when Messrs Rice and Christys held this extraordinary auction sale. The atmosphere must have been electric as bidders eagerly vied for these rare treasures steeped in historical significance. One can only imagine the excitement and anticipation that filled the air on that fateful day. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded not only of the opulence and grandeur associated with such regal pieces but also of their profound cultural value. Each stitch on those embroidered hangings tells a story, connecting us to a bygone era where royalty reigned supreme. General Alfieri expertly captured this moment through his lens, preserving it for future generations to appreciate and admire. This print serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with history and our desire to hold onto tangible remnants from centuries past.
