Mystery

NOTES: The cathedral was built to a competition-winning design of 1903. It was consecrated in 1924 but only completed in 1978.

NOTES: The house was built originally by Baldwin (begun 1786) for Thomas Johnes (1748-1816). A library and conservatory were added by John Nash 1793-1794. A disastrous fire in 1807 destroyed all of NashÔÇÖs work, but the house was rebuilt by Baldwin (1807-1810) retaining NashÔÇÖs library. A large extension was added by Anthony Salvin in 1846-1851 and the house was altered again from 1872. The estate declined in the early 20th century and the house was abandoned in 1942. It was demolished in 1956.

NOTES: This print is from a suite of four untitled plates, known as the `Grotteschi'. Probably first published in 1747 or 1748, and often reprinted, this copy was probably published during the 1760s. The plates, showing fantastic arrangements of human and architectural remains, were among Piranesi's earliest publications.
