An Original Engraving by Johannes Kip of Haughton in the County of Nottingham

An original engraving by Johannes 'Jan' Kip (1653-1722) of Haughton in the County of Nottinghamshire, one of the seats of Prince John Duke of Newcastle, after the drawing by L. Knyff for 'Britannia Illustrata or Views of Several of the Queens Palaces as also of the Principal Seats of the Nobility and Gentry of Great Britain' David Mortier and Daniel Midwinter, London, c.1709. These prints are early English examples of the Bird's-eye form or 3 dimensional perspectives drawn from above.  The result is a cross between a landscape view and a map.

Johannes Kip (1653-1722) was a Dutch draftsman, engraver and print dealer who settled in England at the end of the 17th century. He was associated with the court of William of Orange and moved to London shortly after William landed in England with his forces in 1688 to claim the English crown.

It is hand-coloured and mounted and presented in a ridged frame handpainted in Little Greene's Obsidian Green.
