Antique Cashiobury Park Earl of Essex Engraving Framed 18th Century

An antique copperplate engraving titled "Cashiobury Park in Hertfordshire, the Seat of the Earl of Essex", late 18th century.

This is a different view of the same estate, showing the house and outbuildings with figures in the foreground — likely from a contemporary county history or topographical magazine such as The Universal Magazine or Harrison's History of London family of publications. Uncoloured.

Presented in a plain banded mount within a simple gilt frame.

Historical significance: Cashiobury House near Watford was the principal seat of the Earls of Essex from the mid-16th century. The estate was substantially remodelled by James Wyatt c.1800 and finally demolished in 1922. Pre-demolition views of the house are increasingly collectable to Hertfordshire and Watford local historians.

The plate is in good clean condition. Frame and glazing intact.

Dimensions: Framed approximately 31 x 37 cm.
