"Hampton Court, a royal palace built by Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, enlarged, finished, and erected into an honour by King Henry VIII."
A large, finely detailed engraving of Hampton Court Palace by John Pye (1782-1874). The original drawing upon which this engraving is based is attributed in the plate to Wenceslaus Hollar (1607-1677), although this attribution is now thought to be incorrect. A Latin poem is inscribed below the image, taken from 'The Marriage of the Thames and the Isis,' an epyllion tracing the course of the River Thames. On laid.
Condition
