Title: Antique print titled 'Elevation of the R. Hoble Earl of Chesterfields House (..)'.
Old engraving of Chesterfield House, Westminster. It was a grand London townhouse built between 1747-52 by Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield (1694 to 1773), statesman and man of letters. The exterior was in the Palladian style, the interior Baroque. It was demolished in 1937 and on its site now stands an eponymous block of flats. This print originates from 'Vitruvius Britannicus' by Colen Campbell.
Artists and Engravers: Colen Campbell's Vitruvius Britannicus is considered one of the greatest eighteenth-century English architectural works. Campbell published the first three volumes between 1715 and 1725, but the text was continued in two subsequent volumes by Woolfe and Gandon in 1767 and 1771. The work is comprised of large, finely engraved illustrations, plans, and cross sections of English country houses and parks.
Condition: Good, age-related toning. Blank verso. Minor wear, please study image carefully.
