"Strawberry Hill, Middlesex - the Seat of Lord Orford" is an aquatint print by Joseph Charles Barrow, an artist known for his works in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The print depicts Strawberry Hill House, a Gothic Revival villa in Twickenham, London, which was famously owned by Horace Walpole, the 4th Earl of Orford, author, and son of the first British Prime Minister, Sir Robert Walpole. Strawberry Hill House is renowned for its role in the revival of the Gothic architectural style in the 18th century, as well as for its influence on the literature and aesthetics of the period.

Barrow's work captures the essence of Strawberry Hill's unique architecture and picturesque setting, reflecting the romanticized view of the past that was prevalent among the cultural elite of the time. The print is significant not only as a piece of art but also as a historical record of the house and its landscape during Walpole's lifetime. It showcases the intricate design and fairy-tale appearance of the villa, which was designed by Walpole himself, along with the assistance of amateur architect John Chute and later by professional architect James Essex.

The aquatint medium, a variant of etching that allows for the creation of tonal effects, was particularly suited to rendering the textures and shadows of the Gothic style, making Barrow's work an important contribution to the visual documentation of Strawberry Hill. The print is part of a larger tradition of British topographical art, which sought to capture the character and beauty of the country's estates and landscapes.

As a piece of art, "Strawberry Hill, Middlesex - the Seat of Lord Orford" is appreciated for its technical skill and its role in documenting an iconic example of Gothic Revival architecture. It remains of interest to art historians, architectural scholars, and enthusiasts of the period, providing insight into the cultural and aesthetic values of the time.
