Unframed Photograph Print. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Knole's ballroom chimney-piece features Sackville heraldry; the house was a gift from Henry VIII to Thomas Sackville. Charles Latham was one of the most influential architectural photographers of the late Victorian and Edwardian periods, renowned for his evocative images of country houses and formal gardens across Britain and Italy. His work helped define the visual language of architectural publishing and preservation. His first major commission was for J. Alfred Gotch's Architecture of the Renaissance in England (1894), from which this photograph is taken, where his collotype plates captured the texture and grandeur of Elizabethan and Jacobean houses with remarkable clarity. Latham later helped shape the visual identity of Country Life magazine (which we always have in stock), photographing both historic estates and newly built homes. His images became central to the magazine's appeal, combining editorial elegance with technical innovation in print reproduction. Each of Charles Latham's architectural photographs captures a singular moment of craftsmanship, patronage, or domestic ambition, from heraldic chimney-pieces to formal garden fronts. Whether collegiate, civic, or aristocratic, these buildings speak to the stylistic confidence of their age. Many remain inhabited, studied, or preserved today, making each image not just a historical record, but a quietly resonant portrait of continuity. Published in 1894, this fine Victorian-period image has been carefully removed from Gotch's monumental work. Printed in Leipzig, Germany, by Sinsel & Co., on thick, cream-coloured paper, this image reflects the firm's hallmark clarity and tonal depth, featuring the building's name in sepia ink below a ruled border, with Latham's beautifully composed black-and-white photograph taking centre place.
