Antique Print of Duncombe Park by Campbell (1725)

Description: Antique print titled 'Elevation of Duncomb Park in Yorkshire (..)'. Old engraving of Duncombe Park, Yorkshire. Duncombe Park is the seat of the Duncombe family whose senior members assumed the title Earl and Countess of Feversham, though since that title died out in 1963 they have been called Baron Feversham. It is situated one mile south-west of Helmsley, North Yorkshire, England and stands in 300 acres (120 ha) of parkland. This print originates from 'Vitruvius Britannicus' by Colen Campbell. 

Artists and Engravers: Colen Campbell's Vitruvius Britannicus is considered one of the greatest eighteenth-century English architectural works. Campbell published the first three volumes between 1715 and 1725, but the text was continued in two subsequent volumes by Woolfe and Gandon in 1767 and 1771. The work is comprised of large, finely engraved illustrations, plans, and cross sections of English country houses and parks.
