Stainborough in the County of York . . Wentworth House

This house, formerly called as on the print Stainborough House, now known as Wentworth Castle, to distinguish it from its huge neighbour, Wentworth Woodhouse. The House and the fine Park around it is due to undergo a substantial conservation programme.The rather Baroque design is attributed to Jean de Bodt, whom the owner, Thomas Wentworth (first Lord Raby, then Earl of Strafford) met in Berlin. This print is exactly contemporary with the build of the House. The wonderful waterfall with dolphins in front should be noted, though whether this was built we do not know &endash; it is not mentioned in Pevsner......" copper-plate engraving published 1713, 15"x 20" Coster (D.),, 1713, uncoloured engraving after C.Holzendorf, plate dimensions 360 x 470 mm, Unusually this image is full page/ full ,margins and almost mint condition £285 inc . .
