Rebecca Mead on “Picturing Childhood,” an exhibition at Chatsworth House, the English estate where the 2005 film adaptation of “Pride and Prejudice” was shot.
This wasn’t always the case. In 1950, at the age of thirty, Andrew Cavendish precipitously inherited a centuries-old title—the dukedom of Devonshire—becoming the eleventh holder of vast swaths of agricultural land, acres of grouse moor, a valuable collection of art and antiquities, and the then private Chatsworth House, the family seat in Derbyshire, in the East Midlands.
“Picturing Childhood” incorporates elements clearly designed to engage the interest of younger guests, who, like Little G, might have little tolerance for the formality that a grand house sometimes appears to require. There are hopscotch grids painted onto the pathway by which visitors approach the house, and interactive exhibits throughout the property.
