Another View of Wanstead House in the County of Esses, the Seat of the Right Hon.ble the Earl of Tylney.
George Robertson delin.t. Wilson Lowrie sculpsit.
Published Jan.y 1st. 1781 by John Boydell Engraver in Cheapside London.
Coloured engraving with etching, 18th century watermarked paper. 400 x 554mm (15¾ x 21¾"), large margins. Tears in margins taped.
A fine impression of this view of Wanstead House, built in 1715 by Scottish architect Colen Campbell for Sir Richard Child, 3rd Baronet, was the first Palladian mansion built in England. After the notorious rake William Wellesley-Pole ruined the estate, the house's contents were sold at auction in 1825, after which the house demolished and the building materials salvaged also auctioned, raising only £10,000 of the reputed £360,000 cost of building. The surrounding grounds are now Wanstead Park.
See [Ref: 51316] for one without colour.
