Original English 19th-century print in color, with the front of Wolseley Hall, in the parish of Colwich, Staffordshire, seen from the meadow of the park between large trees. A serene composition, of the kind that illustrated the Victorian repertories of country seats.

The house seen here no longer exists: it suffered a fire in 1950 and was pulled down in 1966, so that prints such as this are today among the few records of its appearance. In 1990 its gardens were recovered as a nature reserve.
