Published for the first edition of Sir Henry Chauncy's (1632 - 1719) Historical Antiquities of Hertfordshire 1700. he manor of Pendley pre-dates the Norman Conquest of 1066, after which it was confiscated by William the Conqueror and passed to his brother-in-law, Robert, Count of Mortain (c. 1031-c.1095), and a later owner was John de Angle, an early Member of Parliament. In 1440 Sir Robert Whittingham (or Whytingham) and his wife Agnes received a grant of free warren from King Henry VI at Pendley manor; he enclosed 200 acres and tore down the buildings on the land, returning the estate to pasture. He built a manor house at the western end of the now-demolished town as a double cloistered courtyard as well as building a Chapel. On the accession of Edward IV (1442 -1483) he granted Pendley manor to George Neville, Bishop of Exeter in 1461 which then passed on to the Verney family through marriage. The Verney family lived at the medieval manor for the next 150 years, until it was passed on to the Anderson family. Sir Richard Anderson, 2nd Baronet (c. 1635-1699) owned the Penley estate when the print was made.

William Penn's (1644 - 1718) 'Great Treaty' was reputedly signed with Delaware Indian leaders in 1682 under an ancient elm tree at the village of Shackamaxon, located in what are now the borders of the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This highly detailed depiction of the event, shows Penn in the centre left, with his arms open, his entourage beside him, two of his men kneeling, offering gifts to the Indians who are assembled at the right. Buildings in construction can be seen behind at the left, with boats on the sea at right. The painting by Benjamin West (1738 - 1820), who was born in Pennsylvania, is now in the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. West was the first American-born artist to receive international recognition and remains one of the most important eighteenth-century painters of historical scenes. He enjoyed a career that endured more than half a century that included serving as president of the Royal Academy. William Penn, quaker leader and founder of Pennsylvania, was the first great hero of American liberty. During the late seventeenth century, Penn established an American sanctuary which protected freedom of conscience. Almost everywhere else, colonists stole land from the Indians, but Penn travelled unarmed among the Indians and negotiated peaceful purchases. He insisted that women deserved equal rights with men. He gave Pennsylvania a written constitution which limited the power of government, provided a humane penal code, and guaranteed many fundamental liberties. For the first time in modern history, a large society offered equal rights to people of different races and religions. Penn's dramatic example caused quite a stir in Europe. The French philosopher Voltaire, a champion of religious toleration, offered lavish praise. 'William Penn might, with reason, boast of having brought down upon earth the Golden Age, which in all probability, never had any real existence but in his dominions'.
