Antique English engraving of Stoke Park, Buckinghamshire, the seat of John Penn, grandson of William Penn, founder of Pennsylvania. Published by R. Ackermann's Repository of Arts, London, after a drawing by John Gendall (1790–1865), a Devon-based topographical artist and regular Ackermann contributor. The subject carries real historical weight: the neo-classical house was designed by James Wyatt, the landscaped grounds are in the Capability Brown tradition, and the village of Stoke Poges is the setting of Thomas Gray's Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard. Framed in a period Hogarth-style frame with black ground and gilt inner edge.
The print is in honest antique condition consistent with approximately 200 years of age. General toning is present throughout the sheet, as expected for laid paper of this period. Foxing spots are visible across the surface. Water staining or tide marks are present, most visible in the upper and middle portions of the sheet. No tears are visible. The image reads clearly and the letterpress caption is fully legible. The Hogarth frame is in good presentable condition with the gilt inner edge intact. Glass is present and unbroken.
