Humbly Dedicated by John Oliver
[Sir Henry Chauncy c.1700]
Engraving plate 285 x 375mm (11¼ x 14¾") Centre fold as issued. Some creasing. Repaired left corner.
Published for the first edition of Sir Henry Chauncy's (1632 - 1719) Historical Antiquities of Hertfordshire 1700. Berkhamsted Place was erected c.1580 by Sir Edward Carey, the keeper of the Jewels to Queen Elizabeth I, using stones removed from Berkhamsted Castle. It was bought by Henry Frederick, Prince of Wales (1594 - 1612) in 1612 and when he died later that year was passed to his brother Charles later crowned Charles I (1600 -1649). The house then changed hands a few times in the turbulent times of the English Civil War and its aftermath inluding the Murray family. In 1660 the lease of Berkhamsted was taken on by the Lord Treasurer, Jerome Weston, 2nd Earl of Portland (1605-1663) however a fire broke out and parts of the house were completely destroyed. Reconstruction was hastily commenced, probably financed by John Sayer who took ownership of the house shortly after it was rebuilt. The Sayer family remained in residence at Berkhamsted Place until 1716, when they sold the lease to William Atwell. The House was demolished in 1967

East Front of Bedwell Park.
East Front of Bedwell Park.
Litho. Newlands 1829. M.A.T.W. [Mary Anne Theresa Whitby]
Lithograph, very rare; printed area approx. 200 x 315mm (8 x 12½"). Foxing around edges.
Bedwell Park in Hertfordshire, which had been owned by the brewer Samuel Whitbread in the 18th century. The printmaker, Mary Anne Theresa Whitby (1784-1850), was married to Captain John Whitby, flag captain for Admiral Sir William Cornwallis. They lived on the admiral's estate, Newlands: after John's death in 1806, Mary stayed on, spending much of her time with Cornwallis, who left his estate to her on his death in 1819. Being a keen amateur lithographer, Whitby established a private press at Newlands, but she is better remembered for the first successful sericulture (silk production) to England after three centuries of attempts, presenting twenty yards of damask to Queen Victoria in 1844. She performed genetic experiments on her silkworms for Charles Darwin, who published her results in his 'The Variation of Animals and Plants Under Domestication' (1868).
