About this image
This beautiful old window is found in the courtyard garden of Lacock Abbey.
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.

That being said, his work is amazing and had found a place in my home. This Chicago skyline on metal has always been one of my favorites. It sits neatly atop this Italian cabinet in our living room.
I've also had the pleasure of watching him work. He is painstakingly patient setting up for some of his shots. It looks like a lot of work, but the results are beautiful.
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.
