Beschreibung

Published by The Hannibal Press, UK. Date: 2022. Sheet size: 54.6cm x 42cm with good margins. Fine quality digital print on 310gsm Canson Edition Etching paper after the original 17th century engraving. Edition of 95, numbered in pencil to the margin. Blind-embossed stamp of The Hannibal Press. Designed by Christopher Wren, Newby Hall was built between 1691 and 1695. Shortly afterwards the owner, Sir Edward Blackett, commissioned Peter Aram as head gardener to lay out formal gardens and avenues in keeping with the period. Very little of Aram's layout for Newby remains today, with the Lime Avenue to the far west being the only area of this elaborate design remaining within the garden. Interestingly there is another section of the radiating Lime Avenues on the Kip engraving extending through the farm land towards Ripon Cathedral. The working area, including the bothy, stables and kitchen garden can be seen much further west than they are now. These original structures are close to the foundations of the earlier Newby house which Blackett demolished. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 001069
