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.

What my clients say
Very pleased with my order. Everything was as advertised and my order arrived faster than expected. I would highly recommend this.
I came across Adam's work while searching for unique photos of the St. Lawrence River and found a great shot of the Baie-Comeau Bridge. My inquiries were met with a prompt and courteous response from Adam directly who accommodated my color and sizing requests. After an easy purchase, the photo was carefully shipped and arrived in one week. It was very easy and pleasant transaction.
We choose a canvas print from our favorite place to relax- Door County. It’s simply gorgeous and reminds us of more relaxing time preCovid. The service and quality is excellent and would recommend Adam to anyone.
