Légende

Eastwell Park: a corner of the house, 1895. 'The back of the house is soon seen on higher ground - plain and simple enough, of white, with grey caps to its turrets and roof, and at both ends a thick grove of splendid trees of many kinds and all ages. Reaching the front, you find it facing wide lawns and hills all clad with trees. To the left woods hide the lake, in front they crown the hill, to the right you skirt them when you have crossed the grass and mount the level ground until you reach the hill-top.' Eastwell Park, near Ashford in Kent, in England, was owned by the Earls of Winchilsea for more than three centuries. It was used as a royal residence from 1874 to 1893 for Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
