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
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!
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.
From the time of purchase Adam kept me up to date on the status of my order. The frame I originally wanted was on back order, but he was able to help me choose a similar frame. The print and frame are beautiful! I would recommend his company.
