Today I went out as a tourist in my own city. A good thing to do since I discovered a bookstore that has been there over 30 years and I didn’t even know! The basement was full of secondhand books. 😍
The library at Stourhead, Wiltshire. The library was built in
1792 by Moulton & Atkinson for Sir Richard Colt Hoare, who filled it with his collection of books about art, antiquities and topography. Much of the furniture was commissioned from
Thomas Chippendale the Younger. The lunette window was made by enameller Frances in 1803 and is
based on Raphael’s School of Athens fresco, depicting the great thinkers of the classical world.
