These reproductions are after hand-colored copper engravings from Britannia Illustrata or Perspective Views of the Royal Palaces, London, c1707-1715, were produced by Dutch draughtsman and engraver, Johannes Kip, (also spelled "Kyp"), who worked with Leonard Knyff (1650-1721), Dutch draughtsman and painter, on topographical views of British country houses and gardens. The colorful views are interesting in that they depict the estate grounds and gardens from an imaginative bird’s eye perspective. They were published in Britannia Illustrata (1707) and Le Nouveau Theatre de la Grande Bretagne (1715).

Comte Louis-Joseph-Alexandre de Laborde (1773 - 1842) was a French antiquary, liberal politician and writer, and a member of the Academie des Sciences morales et politiques (1832). Laborde conceived the project of compiling a complete inventory of the archaeological heritage of France, and published his work in 1836. His luxurious publication seriously undermined his finances, but he remained a figure of high society of the French Empire. Presented here are two large reproduction prints of extra fine hand colored engravings taken from Laborde's Les Monumens De La France.
