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.

Love my night time photograph of Chicago! The colors and quality of the photo are beautiful. I ordered and received my order within a week. Can’t wait to hang this on our wall!! Thanks Adam!
After selecting a print, Adam worked with me to overlay momento text on an aerial photo of the Chicago Loop to create a unique retirement gift to commemorate a long career. Adam provided great artistic suggestions and was very professional, creative, and always responded promptly as we worked from idea to final product. Well done!
The painting exceeded my expectations. A beautiful piece of artwork!
