Step inside the remarkable home of Edward Linley Sambourne, at 18 Stafford Terrace Kensington. He was a celebrated Punch illustrator and one of Britain’s first and finest cartoonists. Through his distinctive drawings, Sambourne captured the personalities, fashions, and politics of the Victorian age, while his Kensington home reveals another side of his life through his passion for design, collecting, and photography. Preserved much as the Sambourne family left it, Sambourne House Museum offers a rare glimpse into the artistic and domestic world of the late 19th c. Beginning in 1875, Linley and his wife, Marion, transformed their home into a showcase of the Aesthetic movement, filling it with William Morris wallpapers, stained glass, ceramics, and carefully curated interiors. Hannah Lund, Curator of Exhibitions and Displays, explores the Sambournes’ family life on this digital tour. She will discuss Linley’s celebrated career and illustrate the remarkably preserved interiors that make Sambourne House one of London’s finest surviving Victorian homes. We will also peek into an upcoming exhibition featuring never-before-seen items from the archives.

The recording will be shared on November 13 by 12:00 p.m. ET and available through December 31, 2026.
