About this image
Lacock Abbey in the village of Lacock, Wiltshire, England, was founded in the early 13th century by Ela, Countess of Salisbury, as a nunnery of the Augustinian order.
The abbey remained a nunnery until the suppression of Roman Catholic institutions in England in the 16th century; it was then sold to Sir William Sharington who converted the convent into a residence where he and his family lived. The house later passed into the hands of the Talbot family, and during the 19th century was the residence of William Henry Fox Talbot. In 1835 he made what may be the earliest surviving photographic camera negative, an image of one of the windows.

We selected a photo of Adams that we felt captured the beauty of the Chicago downtown river walk area and asked him to apply a brushed filter in a large format of approximately 70” x 50”. It was printed on a large canvas and box framed . It tuned out FABULOUS! Wish I could attach a photo of it hanging in our foyer so you could appreciate the beauty we are enjoying! Overall experience was wonderful and the artist is a pleasure to work with. If I could give 10 stars I would.
Bought one of Adam's prints as a gift for my wife on her birthday and we both love it. He emailed me to let me know there could be a delay because of the fires in California, and he was upgrading our shipping. It arrived on time and was packaged very securely.
Received canvas in a very timely manner and packaged with care. I would highly recommend! Now that my husband opened the canvas, he was shocked. We've been trying to capture that "shot" for years. It is proudly displayed in our living room for everyone to see.
