Strawberry Hill Silk Scarves

  • Gemma Land
The prints are a series of monochrome and colour prints of London’s much-loved Strawberry Hill House. It was the former home of Horace Walpole, who was a MP, Art collector and one of the first Gothic Novelists. His home was extended and built by masons; it was one of the first Gothic revival residences and has influenced the design of residential architecture. It was also the inspiration for Walpole’s Gothic novel; The Castle of Otranto that later inspired writers such as Mary Shelley and Edger Allen Poe.
