Holkham Hall was built for Thomas Coke, later 1st earl of Leicester (1697-1759). It was first conceived around 1722 and the foundation stone laid in 1734. The south-west wing was finished by 1741 and the south front by 1753. The exteriors were complete by 1759 and the interiors by 1761, after Coke's death. The design is now thought to be by Coke himself in discussion with Lord Burlington, but employing Matthew Brettingham the Elder as draughtsman and William Kent as supervisor.
The house is entered by the Stone Hall, sometimes called the Marble Hall. Its structure was completed by 1752 but the interior had only been filled to the level of the main floor by 1757, when, in the following two years, major changes were made to the north or entrance front wall and the staircase. The Hall evokes the Vitruvian so-called Egyptian Hall and the apsed and aisled antique basilica adapted by Palladio. Internally, it has alabaster facings and a rich Ionic order adapted from the Temple of Fortuna Virilis in Rome. The walls at ground floor level are faced with pink Derbyshire alabaster and are decorated with a frieze with a Greek key pattern running below one with a wave pattern (seen here). The gallery, at main-floor level, has a cast-iron balustrade and free-standing Ionic columns of pink alabaster. The walls of the gallery contain niches for sculpture.

Note that this comes in two print sizes. This is the larger print. Either way I want to go to the beach now and dip my toes in the waves.

I've been printing limited edition, block printed decorative papers lately. There'll just be a few of these - - in fact, this is a bit of research into future projects/products. These are printed from linoleum cuts on my Vandercook proof press, one wave block at a time. The ink tone and density can shift from sheet to sheet, wave to wave, even, due to the hand-printed nature of these papers.
