An original early 18th century copper engraved antique print of Bradley Court, Wotton under Edge, Cotswolds, Gloucestershire, England by Johannes Kip.
The leading image shows the print to the platemark, as it would appear when mounted/matted ready for framing. See also close-up and overall views.
Kip's famous series of sweeping bird's eye views of fine stately homes are widely collected for their aesthetic qualities as well as being valuable historic records.
The accurate portrayal of the formal gardens and grounds are of particular interest.
