Boughton: The House, its People and its Collections by Richard Buccleuch
In this sumptuous portrait of Boughton House, known as the English Versailles, the present Duke sets the scene with a history of his ancestors who acquired the Northamptonshire manor in the reign of Henry VIII. Ralph, 1st Duke of Montagu (16381709), Charles IIs envoy to Louis XIV, transformed Boughton into a palatial homage to French culture.
Richard, 10th Duke of Buccleuch and 12th Duke of Queensberry, is responsible for his family’s historic art collections and houses, including Drumlanrig Castle and Bowhill in Scotland and Boughton House in Northamptonshire. Author of books about each of them, he works widely in the heritage field and was for ten years President of the National Trust for Scotland. He is currently a trustee of the Royal Collection Trust and President of the Georgian Group. During a photographic career spanning more than thirty-five years, Fritz von der Schulenburg has achieved international acclaim, capturing on camera some of the most beautiful and inspirational locations in the world. His photographs have been published in numerous magazines, such as The World of Interiors, Architectural Digest, House & Garden and Veranda. As well as contributing to many books, he has published several of his own. These include The English Garden Room (Weidenfeld & Nicolson), Living in Scotland (Thames & Hudson), Neoclassicism in the North (Thames & Hudson), Romantic Scotland (Weidenfeld & Nicolson), Living by Design (Weidenfeld & Nicolson), Luxury Minimal (Thames & Hudson). In recent years, Schulenburg has spent most of his time photographing houses, estates, boats and planes to provide a personal record for owners and designers in the form of bespoke books and albums.
